Ritterkreuz.. Steinhauer & Luck Non Magnetic

[Lowboy]

In short there is no official proof that this is post war... But for many reasons that's what most believe... Because after the war S&L made crosses for the allied forces as souvenirs and for Germans alike...(and nobody know when they stopped) Your question opens a huge can of worms. My reason for buying it was simple .. I would like rk's (eventually) from every time line... A post war S&L was on my list.

Aha, never heard about this before.
So i assume that the post war pieces, have specific characteristics which make them differ from the pre 1945 ones right? That's why everybody is saying that it is a post war one?

Yes it has the B-type frame and flaws... but non magnetic core... and it has no stamps.. its listed in Dietrich's book. I'm going to send it to Dietrich for examination along with a Juncker Lazy 2.

Excellent i'm glad you are still on course for your first original RK

I notice this one you have bought is the one that was on Craig Gottleibs site !!

Thank you... and yes this is the same cross.

Thanks for the reply.
Wise decision. Dietrich will be able to tell you for sure.
