Original KC?

[RobertE]

Hello,

Some artist polished the swastika on this piece, but I'd like to know if it's a good cross. Magnetic center, construction features as shown.

Thanks for the help.

regards, Robert

800 marked - sorry, tried to enlarge the marking

not clear pics, but good chance one "micro 800 by Steinhauer...

[Ludwig]

Looks like a good S & L, but the loop is crap, IMO.

[RobertE]

Thanks for the opinions, Ludwig and Kraut. I appreciate the review.

regards, Robert

Whatever it is, it appears to have been repainted.

[RobertE]

Thanks Chris,

It will take a hands-on look to determine if it has been waxed, fingernail-polished, repainted, or just worn original paint.

The main consideration from my perspective is originality.

The "800" is not incused?

[Leroy]

Photos simply not good enough to tell much about this cross........

The "800" is not incused?

No, hard struck but no inset box.

Yes, it is hard to even judge whether a A- or B-frame...

Thanks to John T., I have a few more pictures to assist in making the call on this cross. Die flaw is clearly visible.

B-type with flaw, 6 and 9 o' clock arm?

I appreciate the help on this cross, but think I owe you better pictures if I'm asking for opinions - Leroy has a good point. I'll take some better pictures when I get it in hand - thanks for the opinions thus far.
