Manufacturers of these Ritterkreuz

[Henri S]

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

I did send a few PM´s on the cross. That ring on the new RK of yours confuses me. I first thought it was a S&L, but then not, as i could not find that "cutout" found at the bottom of the ring on S&L crosses.

Then i thought (besides a Deschler and S&L postwar frames) that it could be an unfinished S&L ring
What do you think guys?

Cheers.
Peter

Yes Peter, this rk confuses me too, and I am hoping that one of the big guys here can give a helping hand. Anyone?

Anybody else apart from Peter?
