Ladies & Gents....my forth,yes forth 57' Knight Cross ! a couple of months ago I had one modern 57 ' RK, a 1980's St u L, the so called "D" frame model (brand new die)....then I picked up a couple of early "B" frame 57' RK's.....then today I picked up another early 57' RK with a "C" frame,stamped from repaired "B" frame dies, hence some of the flaws observed on the "B" frame RK's are to be seen on "C" frame (but not all), it has the first core (magnetic), and is marked "800" on top of the rear 12 o'clock arm, indicating silver content, it is again a St u L pieice.......it comes with original ribbon and box, which is an early type box with domed top and bottom...see photographs, again the sellers...I will add photos when in hand !
Prost ! Steve.
The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )
1st July 1916
Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
My 4th 57er RK ! a boxed "C" frame.......
