      Nice, but IMO not a set.
      This ek is from an unknown maker.

      Here's the Deschler round 3

        Packet

        I am not updated in the R3 research, but know that there are different opinions of how many of the R3 that can be traced to Deschler.

        I know it do not prove anything. But it came from a lot, that looked untouched. And not sold the way a collector would have done it. The seller seems to have no knowledge of the R3 or the deschler firm.

        I have mailed the German seller for more information about the items, and the estate that they came from. Waiting on a reply.

        Anyway if its from a estate and a mix some how, its interesting its mixed with a Deschler packet of all makers.

          I think that it could be a Deschler set because there are few but real traces already discussed in other threads BUT all possibilities/opinions are certainly valid IMO.

                Looks like the 'Thick' version R3, measure the thickness Nicolai. Not impossible that the cross and packet came together.

                Douglas> My old Deschler R3 weighed 23.65 gr i think.

                See this thread for a connection between the 4 "standard version R3's": http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=378027

                  The 4 standard R3 versions.

                  'Thick' 22.90 g
                  Thicker than the others. Somewhere between 5.05-5.40 mm. Pointy inner corners.

                  'Thin/beveled edges' 19.85 g
                  With beveled edges and pointy inner corners. Thickness around 4.5mm.

                  'Swaz on base' 17.90 g
                  Pointy inner corners, "Stippled" core and swastika on a plinth/plateau.

                  'Deschler' 23.65 g
                  Rounded inner corners, slightly larger and same frame as the standard Deschler crosses.

                  Weight is from my old ones.

                      24.1 gram Douglas

                      about 3 gram heavier then the thick version of the unknown maker


                      As I stated before I can't believe that the other crosses are from Deschler as well.
                      Maybe they supplied cores to another maker ?
                      All Deschler crosses I know have the same frame, round 3, L/10 and 1

                        I agree with Ben.

                        A nice original "beveled" version, but not made by Deschler.
                        Best regards,

                          Thanks Ben .
                          Surprizing that the weight of these maker unknown R3s sure fluctuates a lot . #1 and 3 of mine have the same frame cut out for the jump ring resembles a Deschler ... where as 2 is quit different . Have a Deschler arriving soon to compare .
