cross

Hi is the core magnetic? It is a S&L cross. Most likely neusilber frame if unmarked.

Just one small point to observe: If you look at the paint on the swastika, you can see that it is the same as the (rarely exposed) undercoat layer on a 935-4, as seen in the upper left corner of this piece sold by Weitze.

Sanya - Not sure what you want to know. I am prejudiced because I sincerely believe that some of these pieces are wartime, made for display or some other purpose, but it always takes an "in-hand" examination to tell more. Photos, because of lighting, etc., almost never tell the entire story. Some of these crosses have "800" loops, some have "935" loops. IMO, it makes no real difference. The paint on this cross, I believe, is wartime, but I can't tell about the frosting, or the soldering, from the photos alone. S&L assembled, postwar, crosses from leftover parts, before actually re-commencing, at some point in the early 1950's, actual die re-striking, but in my experience the quality of finishing and assembly simply never achieved wartime standards. This is NOT a cross meant for award. - Best, Gentry

There is really not much to say: it is a post-war production by S&L.

for me already almost all EK2 & EK1 type have to me
and unfortunately I want a KC ,but ( unfortunately I can not afford it this ,I'm only simple working & and very hight the price this the beauty KC )
therefore thought that i try buy a early after war type ,because these pieces is original & have a nice on condition ,but only made the maybe 50 years.
what do you think about ,that how much is the real value this the piece ?
thanks for the help & opinion

Sanya - At the recent SOS show, there were a very few of these type crosses. The prices were in the $2000 to $3500 range. Without having this cross in hand, it is, IMO, impossible to say for certain that it is a postwar cross. Again, not intended for award purposes.

There is certainly a drive to bring these post-war productions up to a high price level, I saw that, too.
Especially the one nice B-Type with a non-silver frame and non-magnetic core and a fake 800 stamp. The seller wanted $ 5,500.- for it. Maybe the sellers meanwhile realized that if they ask only $ 1,000.- everybody immediately realizes it is a fake. If the price is in the 4-5,000.- range "it might be good."
IMHO a very sacry development without any factual background.

If you can get this one for 1k or below great, if not don't bother. If you really want one you might be able to push that number up to 1,5k. Price wise I would go much higher because you will never able to get that money back if you want to resell it.

They are not that rare, and show up from time to time.
