    Spain Cross Maker?

    I believe this cross was made by the Unknown maker. Has anything new come to light that would suggest an actual maker?

        I think you need to subscribe to Dietrich's quarterly magazine. The unknown is no longer unknown.

          For a while some suspected these were fakes. They are not.

            Thank you both for the response.

            Brian, I do subscribe to IMC (Dietrich and my check book go back a long way!)...I must have forgotten about that issue. I also have your e-book on SCs which I looked in to ID this cross.

              Brian bad bad bad...

              Yes the eBook DOES say 'unknown'. The article I wrote came out after I did that e-edition. I have included it in an update but not published. I will do so. You aren't the first person to rely on 'bad information'. Neat thing about the ebook is I can easily keep it up to date.

              A friend offered to send me pics of his Next of Kin cross to include. I have to ping him and then I'll get the update out soon as possible.

              Thanks Gary!!!

                Brian,

                That is the good thing about e-books, easy to update and cheap to do so! I read IMC from cover to cover so am surprised I forgot about your article. Will go back later today to relook/reread it.

                And of course I loved your SC e-book! Great resource!
