Kc by Meybauer

[jujuy]

This KC is stone mint with all the frosting remaining. The pics do not reflect the beauty of the cross.

and the most amazing is the number 7 on the suspension loop...
Just have a look at the frosting here, really identical to the S&L frosting

[Peter Wiking]

Wow! Were did you find this cross?

Cheers.

I have never seen a Meybauer before. Is this what they call a 'rounder'?.

A friend of mime picked it up for me sunday.

This cross is really amazing and I never seen such frosting on non pre 1945 crosses.
The #7 is really very clear on the original photo but size reducing altered it too much.
About provenance, the seller found it in the country of Kleissheim. Nothing to believe or convincing here. Just a nice cross with round corners...

Wow! Were did you find this cross?

No. A rounder would have the top of the 3 <- looking like this one

Hi Peter
How come you say that?
I am correct when I said the "Rounder" involved the 3, no?

Just out of curiosity, what would one use to as a comparison to authenticate this cross? Remember that meybauer catalog thread about six months ago that showed an RK? Did that have enough detail? Why is this cross so "new" looking? Does the "7" stamp look like "7" stamps on other awards? Just asking, as I do not know who would have a "real" cross with which to compare.

here is a better shot of the seven. the cross is absolutely identical to another so called round exemple I have.

And I have to go on the road for seven hours!

Lawrence,

I think, in KC terms, a 'rounder' is a descripive phrase used to describe a KC which has rounded internal corners on the beading butting up to the swas. I am happy to be corrected if wrong.

Best,

This type of RK with round inner corners tends to be debated alot.
Its a nice cross in my opinion.

Cheers.

Tom,

I have a stone mint S&L coming from Detlev that has exactly the same brand new effect. When you have this one in your hand you don't have t think a lot to see it is not a recent made cross.
About the 7, I personal dont think thak fakers want absolutely to follow Dietrich theory about the meybauer origin. To be more convincing they would have stamp the cross itself.
Just my opinion
