Johnny,
Trevor call this one the "Lug" - unknown maker

[J0hnny]

Thank you for your reply.
What is the "Lug"?
I can not translate it in German.
I need another opinion on this cross.

Unbekanter Hersteller mit einem 'Lug' = Metalerweiterung am oberen Arm - für den kleinen Ring .

It's a very nice cross Johnny. I have one just like it as well. Suspected to be very early war, the few I have seen are always un-marked and have the "lug" on top of the frame, which Douglas has shown in his picture. The cross is a high quality, well made example. Do you know if yours is magnetic?

I attached pics of mine.

Of all my marked and unmarked crosses I hold this one in very high regard, especially since there is so much mystery to it.

Interesting crosses indeed Wik >
Yours is a early version . Is the frame silverplated or has it been coated with lacquer at one time ?
Jonnys has the same frame but not an early cross ... the wear is far to advanced on his .
Both have different core too .

Thanks for the explanation of Douglas
And I thank the images, Wik
Mine is magnetic and the swastika is not marginal high.
@Wik,
How is high the swastika on your cross?
