STEP BY STEP FROM A DRAFT TO FINAL IRON CROSS - Excursion in the Deschler&Sohn Munich

[RKC]

Miro:

Thank you very much for a very nice informative post
which surely took up a fair bit of your time to install it
in this forum section.

Although I'm not a 'nut bar' for the EK, I prefer the "KvK"
because it has "swords", I still feel I should write this
note to you to thank you openly for such a well done effort.


Ron.

A little something interesting from a 935-4 RK from S&L. Core base coat glossier than the spray matt finish added on top as a final touch. I have seen this on other RK's from this company.

As I indicated before this may be due to the first paint being 'baked' on - the touch up paint is not .

Still wondering how this could happen here. It is Imperial piece, but technology of strucking the frame had to be very similar. Something forgotten in the press? Can´t believe this was done with purpose.

The gaps look as if someone tried to unhinge the frame for whatever reasons with a flat-blade screwdriver. I'd vote for "on purpose" defects.

Very interesting.

Thanks for taking the time to post this, extremely interesting window in to the past to see how these crosses were made and to see the craftsmen and women at work and their working methods. Wonderful!
