I am starting this thread to confirm the manufacturers of these 1957 early ritterkreuzes. As most are aware these early peaces are made from wartime frames and I'm sure that the big boys with a few wartime rks in their collection can give a very vital helpful hand to confirm or point out the makers. I know that not everybody appreciates 1957 awards, but I these awards are as good as their wartime counterparts, that have oakleaves instead of the swastica. I thank you all for looking and hopefully this thread will help to confirm the manufacturers.
The first cross is what is so far thought to be an Otto Shickle. The eye is flush with the edge of the arm
Obverse view.
