Hey everyone,

what is your opinion on this S&L German Cross in Gold ? It is not marked "4".
Thanks,
Alex

Postwar put-together, IMO.

Postwar put-together, IMO.

Agree!

What are the differences between S&L post war vs late wartime production in terms of rivits, pin type, disc finish etc. ? I personally don't belive the missing "4" can be judgement if a S&L German Cross is post war or not.

The colour of the star burst reminds me of 57er pieces so I would opt for early postwar. That, obviously, is no guarantee that it is postwar. A good looking DK in either case

Agree!

I agree also

Hi Alex, I've reposted this thread more than any other, but it should give you some idea on why this cross is more like the 57er version than a wartime cross.

I do not know for sure my gold S&L is wartime, but if they made one during the war, I think it would look like mine.
