Klein & Quenzer - War merit 1st class

[Andreas Klein]

Hello,

due to an ongoing discussion about Klein & Quenzer "micro" markings in the wound badge area it would be nice if owner of war merit crosses from K&Q could post some obverse photos here in this thread.

Thanks in advance

Hi Nick,

i saw it

@all

Come on friends no one with Quenzer crosses and good photos of it outthere?

I would like to examine if the normal size 65 obverse matches the micro 65 obverse.

I suppose you just want the mm?

Here's a tombak and a zinc 65 mm:

Here's the obverse of the Tombak version with the small mark on top, then the zinc version with the "normal" mark on the bottom.

He George,

thanks for the pictures

If i look at the design of the swords i would say they came out of two different dies?

I would like to examine if the normal size 65 obverse matches the micro 65 obverse.

Sorry, got the obverse and reverse mixed up.

If you ask me about the swords, no but I'll leave that to George Stimson.

To my eye it looks like the two crosses I posted are from the same (obverse) die.
