Hi Benjamin
I think that yours is in better condition than mine...

[Frank Heukemes]

Hi Benjamin,

I have a question about the maker´s tag from Wächtler & Lange:

Is it "incuse relief" or plain flat? Is it simple printed paper or paper with a "metallic" effect apllied?

Cheers, Frank H.

Frank,

If you're just wondering about W & L labels generally, the one on the case of my 25-year Loyal Service Cross is incuse relief on paper with a metallic silver effect.

Dear George,

Thanks, yes it was a general question about the tags of that maker. I have seen one in normal printed paper and not incuse relief recently and wonder if it is also good (case looked ok).

Cheers, Frank H.

Here's my cased set. These were quite early additions to my collection and I have seen way better examples in the meantime - the variation in quality is quite extreme. I got a particularly nice 25 years cross on a group this weekend and it really shines!

Here are the exteriors of the cases, with close ups of the makers marks (on the inside of each lid) superimposed underneath.

And sorry for the size of the original image....
