Knights Cross Weights

[rev]

I am very curious does anyone know what the weights are for KC's including replacement crosses. I have searched and can find very little so I figured I would tap into this wealth of information. I am looking for weights as follows:


KC's ONLY
Can you stated the maker of the cross as well Please
1. pre 1945 original crosses
2. pre 1945 replacement crosses
3. post 1945 original crosses
4. post 1945 replacement crosses
5. 1957 original crosses
6. post 1957 replacement crosses

LOOPS ONLY
Can you state the maker of the loop as well Please
1. pre 1945 original
2. post 1945
3. 1957
4. post 1957

Thanks

I don't know about replacement crosses, but Gordon Williamson's book has weights.

Ok I will go there was hoping to get the people that owned crosses to give me some weights. I am more interested in what the actual owners have, by the way do you know if he lists the weights of the loops??

Thank you

Joe

Joe, my S&L 57 (brass core, "800" silver frame):

Cross: 26 grams ( w.o. loop)
Loop : 2 grams (800 mrkd. silver)

Weight is not really 100% becdause I used the wrong scale ( but it is in the frame again already, sorry for that)

I will give you the weight of my pre-45 crosses later on.

Regards,
Ben

I am very interested in the weights of the crosses and I will cataloge these for future reference. I appriciate your responses very much and await the true measurement of your cross.

Thanks Ben

Joe, here are some more weights of wartime originals.
They are taken from the COA´s, because I hate to take apart the display again.

Early Juncker, nonmagnetic core:
Cross: 26.33
loop: 1.67

Early Juncker, mrkd. "800"
30.97 , without loop (with oaks, no loop)

Klein & Quenzer, mrkd 800
Cross: 28.31
Loop 1.74


Round corner ( have to look up that COA)

regards,
Ben
