Hello, what do you think of this cross?

[Dietrich Maerz]

It is an A-Type S&L micro 800 with unusual paint (or is it the photo?).

[metall161]

Dietrich. We wish you good day!
Cross is not in my hands, so there is only pictures. Maybe it repainted?

RePainted RK

My guess would be along the lines of a Re Painted Core too.
Both Obverse and Reverse have a sloppy overlay of Matte Black paint on each of the inner corners..

I have paint on interior areas as well, but I don't consider it a repaint.

Perfect and totally original cross to me.

[münster]

Does not look like a repaint to me.

[vonStubben]

It is not repainted and in fabulous condition.

[petopoint]

Seems a lot.

There is a diff between the two. The first looks like all eight inners have so much more w/o any wear. Though may have been preserved pristinely?

[Harry]

.... a very fine, early, cross

Harry,

a bit off topic but you bring up a production run reference. Can you tell me the difference in production dates between "800-4" and micro "800" marked pieces? Do these correlate to specific years really?

William Kramer

[Harry]

the micro 800 pre-dates the 800-4 (which is very late and has a B-type frame)
