Original Photo RK Maker Please?

[monty]

Is this original photo clear enough to judge by the do-nut looking eye of the RK that it is most likely made by K&Q? Thanks!

IMO yes it's a K&Q Tom

I don't think you can say what type it is.

The photo swells the whites (look at the frame), so if anything I'd say it's not a K&Q, as the Öse would be substantially fatter. Also the overall shape of the frame looks more S&L to me.

I agree, the arms aren't straight enough for a 65

The other photo (in a book I have is very clear) I'm sure it's a K&Q

The only thing you can be sure of, IMO, is that it is not a 3/4!

Now that I have seen photos of the cross front & back....It "IS" a very nice K&Q as I stated ! Tom

Hi Tom,

Do you have another period photo of this same cross in-wear to base your opinion on? If so could you please show it? Obviously the actual cross in monty's collection is a K&Q, or he wouldn't have asked us to confirm if the cross in the photo is also a K&Q. But I think it's too hard to judge from this one photo, personally.
