I think the $1,500 price tag says it all. Certainly a red flag for me.

hi, I have a question and I would be very appreciated if somebody help me,.
as far as I know Knights cross was made of three parts, one core and two frames, the core was made separately then colored in black and after that the frame was attached to it, therefore logically there must be no reason that the frame could have any black paint stain on it , there is a site called snyderstreasures and I heard it is a respectful site with original items, I can not post any pictures because They might be copyrighted, but many of the Knights crosses have black paint on their frame and they were sold some times 12000 $, are they really original ? do you think it is wise to purchase from that site?
thank you so much for your help
Regards

'Snyders', 'respectful' and 'original' are words that should not be used together.

Stay far away from that site at all costs. No dealer is perfect and mistakes are made, but there are plenty of respected dealers out there.

Charlie Snyder has fairly recently passed away and there are many who are not sad about this.
I would recommend that that is one site that you not go looking for any information on.

It is usually suspected that EKs that have black paint on the frames have been repainted.
