Ritterkreuz zum Eisernes Kreuz im etui 1957 Ausführung

Yesterday I picked up my first RK. It's an unmarked S&L with first pattern core and "B" frame, it came with a matching etui and a piece of modified ribbon for easy wearing. It deserves its own thread!

The set is not attributed, but because it's my first I will treasure it forever!

Enjoy!!!

First up some pics of the case with domed bottom...

And here is the KC with fully drilled out eye and loop. Note the lines on the reverse of the core.

Nick it's a beauty mate.
When was this made? In '57 or later? I remember i saw one for sale in the past but it was stated as a cross of the 80's. I don't know how to tell that's why i am asking.

Thanks for all the comments, gents!

This piece dates to '57 onwards, till in the early 60's the second pattern core/"C" frame was introduced I suppose.

Here are some additional pics (sellers pics) showing all known flaws of the "B" frame.
