Ritterkreuz Steinhauer & Lück

[germanmedals]

I'd like to gather some information about this Steinhauer & Lück RK. Mostly i'd like to know in which year this model came out/started to be awarded. thanks

Nice cross, but no way to tell you exactly what year it was made. I would guess @1941-2, but that's just a guess.

The main question is when this were made. If they existed in 41/42 that is a good news. It was suposed to be awarded in 42 so it matches the time frame. thanks

Based on the lack of (visible) flaws it was made before late 1943/mid 1944. But that is just a guess based on some data. For sure a fairly early cross. Time of awarding is impossible to tell since there were mix-ups between the models. However, most likely more "early" than "late" - as a rough guide. 1942 is very much possible and even probable.

If you need more pictures of the cross (flaws) please mark them on the picture so I will know what to post (year numbers, swastika, frame,...???) Does this model have any names or it is just called Steinhauer & Lück?

[Dietrich Maerz]

It is an early micro 800 A-type.

I would say there are several threads here, that discuss the flaws of the S&L crosses.
