I don't like the stem on that second '9', the detail on the oakleaf wreath around the swas. is not great, or is it just the photo?Originally posted by mercmanComment

I agree with Harry. The detail doesn't seem that good. Is there any maker mark on it?GeorgeComment

These are the only photos I got from the seller, I will get in touch with him an find out if there is a mm on it.

Excessive thickness looks like Souval, but Souval products were much sharper in detail. More likely a casting taken from a Souval. The only other maker thought to use the ribbed suspension on the version with Swords was Steinhauer and it isn't one of theirs.Comment

A copy of a copy? Wow!

Yup, its definitely a copy of a Souval, numerals match 100%. Somewhere I have some clear images of a "proper" Souval. I'll try to dig them out. The detail is every bit as crisp as on a real wartime Deschler.Originally posted by George StimsonA copy of a copy? Wow!Comment

Hello,
I also don't like it at all. I have an original example I can e-mail you images of if you wish. I am at work and cannot post images at the moment.
The cross is too thick, proper detail is lacking, the 1939 date is not well defined, and it does not have the proper ribbon loop and arms which hold the suspension ring. Gordon has already pointed out this (ribbing) is a trait for a S&L piece.
Regards,
Jody

Hi Gordon.
I might be daft but are you saying the ribbed suspension on the version with swords was used only by Souval and St&L?

Thanks all the same, this information on the un-ribbed crosses was
new to me
