Hello
in my opinion there is a serious problem because this is not an original core by Klein & Quenzer.
Have you showed wrong pics ? if not, please can you show the perfil of this cross ?

[fpicoli]

Hi Fabri,

You say that the core is not a "65" but i've seen many variations on other foruns (WAF for an example). The same maker have different core designs (for 1939 and the swastica) as can be seen on the picture below.

Interesting, the reverse looks 100% good, set up, mm etc, but from the observe, the date, swastika, paint is not identical to a K&Q. Maybe the core is from a different maker.

Hello Fabio
as just sayd in another place and sayd by Jànos, the back side is ok, original Klein & Quenzer.
The front side is strange. I know very well every core you ahve showed in that pics but no one match your.
In the true, frame don't seems to me a Klein & Quenzer too..
Do you have the cross or are you buying ?
There are 3 possibilities:
1 - wrong pic of front side
2 - replaced core (and Frame?) with not original parts
3 - replaced core (and frame?) with original parts, core could be a good Rettenmaier (L/59)

Right Jànos, also the paint don't seems correct to me, but maybe cause the light.
