OK, now I am seeing them. Takes a steady eye. I have the same one as in Tom's post #71.

If everyone who has a K&Q could check out that metal "squiggle" between the 28th and 29th bead on the 9 0clock arm, upper rim near the the corner. That is a small amount of metal that I would expect to fade with increased use of the die.

There is a small slice out of the bead, it is indeed small.

I need a loupe but so far I think mine is the same as well.

You guys are giving me MAJOR LEAGUE eye-strain! I gotta buy a loupe...can see several of the flaws with the naked eye, but not all. And even on the scans it is not possible because it fails to show the sides on the beading. There are some I can see with my eyes that I can't fins on scans...

Try a 30X jeweller's loop. They are about $30 off the net and really help with details. On the other hand, you could buy some surgical loops for about $1000 that will make you look like a turbo dork.

It's not going to be easy to see the little slice or the split beads without a loop, you really do need one.

[tom hansen]

so- I call can see from this is ALL the crosses posted have these nice mini flaws. How about weights? Mine is 30.9 grams with the loop.

[milsurp]

Mine is 29.95g inc suspension loop

[Sebastian Bianchi]

Mine is 31.1 also including loop

[tom hansen]

marc's is 30.2

[Marc Garlasco]

Weight: 30.2g with loop (like it can come out anyway...)

49x49mm (tough call, maybe 48.9x49 - really close on Scala calipers)

width: 4.6mm
