Visible die flaws on this S&L Knight's Cross?

[Fluffy James]

This KC was sold recently at a reputable auction site and is described as a type A frame S&L KC.

Are there any die flaws visible? If I'm not mistaken these flaws shoud be noticable between the 9 and 12 o'clock arms of the cross. Or are these only visible with a magnifying lens?

Many thanks!

Sorry, I seem not to have the permission to add attachments. Hence no pictures.

No pics

No pics, so can't say anything about this Cross

The late ones with very heavy visuable flaws.
The early ones not.

Here are (directly linked) pictures of the mentioned Knight's Cross. Do you notice any 3 o'clock or 6 o'clock arm die flaws? Any 9/12 o'clock knee flaw?










Many thanks for your answers.

That´s an early A, which did not have any flaws. Very nice cross!

Oooops, I have had the impression that the 9/12 o'clock knee flaw always is found on the A-type...

I have not seen an A-Type without the little flaws in the 9-12 o'clock knee. Most of the time one has to look "lateral" not "head on."

Oh, sorry for being unclear, or perhaps better, sloppy. I was of course thinking about the flaws on the beading.

That's a very fine cross

Excellent cross!

[Fluffy James]

Thanks for your replies!
I am happy that this KC is considered a very fine/nice example.

So, what about this cross?

No die flaws at all?
Obviously an original cross.
At least IMO.
But no die flaws?
Any theories?

I saw this on at the Ratisbons auction, it sold for a very reasonable price!
