Moritz Hausch unmarked

[Danny70]

Hello John,

That really is a beautiful cross.

However, I am a little puzzled by it. All of the crosses that I have seen that are attributed to Moritz Hausch, (including the one I owned) were identical to the one Adrian has shown, but yours doesn't have the same inner corners. I was under the impression that they had that little 'bead-free' section, but on yours, only one corner (11 o'clock) has this trait.
Nevertheless, it is still a stunning cross, congratulations.

Has anyone seen another like this one?

Regards - Danny

Hello Danny, if you look at my example, it looks like the frame has been rotated through 90 degrees compared to the other two examples.
I did point that out just after Adrian posted his example. But I have to say IMO the inner corners look the same as the other examples on here.

John, I can see what Danny means. I think my example is similar yours but Adrian's certinly has clearer 'bald' corners which is a defined trait of MH's

John,
Here's close up images of your cross on the top and mine below - many similar features, but still I don't think they are identical... modified dies perhaps?

It's the little things like this that make EK collecting such fun!

Interesting close ups Danny, they certainly are not the same. Could be re-worked die scenario as you say

Here are my example to compare. The best picture I could find at the moment.

Hi Danny, thanks for the close ups. I see what you mean. Perhaps a completely different die. Or as you say a reworked one.
