Nice, Doug Helped me with mine.
I have 2 cracked Die crosses, they are the next best thing to a RK

Hí guys ,It is also interesting that a lot of pieces missing from this type of flaw

[Douglas 5]

This flaw is on both frame type UB crosses - faint on the cracked corner and more pronounced on the chipped corner frame .

Sorry, but I have 3x crosses Uber and 1x Little Brother and none of them has such flaw... So it looks that it is a coincidence manufacturing defect.

Try looking at them from the side under a strong light and magnifier - some may show the flaw starting .
I thought just looking at the obvious one I had straight on - that it was the only one I had .
Close inspection of all the others the flaw is there even if only very shallow and hard to see .
That flaw seams to be coming/transfered from the master die .
