Hi
What do you guys think about this??
Hi
What do you guys think about this??
oradour is the expert,I like it myself.
It appears to be a "C" frame RK, the dipping ring frame, with first pattern core........these are faked as with everything else 1957 these days, how ever I would need to see better/close ups and lighter images of the frame to determine known flaws, I can not give a yay or a nay at this moment........but I can say I do not like the Oaks & swords, they look cast and exhibit strange flaws, unlike any original set.
Photographs for evaluation should be taken in daylight and with if possible a macro lens....I would like to see in particular the bottom edge of the six o'clock frame, and the three o'clock arm frame for the dent row...........
Prost ! Steve.
I have asked the seller for some more photos, when I get them I shall post them for you to see.
This one was discussed on WAF and was found not original.
Regards
Wasn't able to find the discussion back on WAF. Anyway this cross has also been posted by Mathijs in the 'ebay hall of shame' thread, see here.
Best regards,
Nick
Well remembered Nick !
Prost 1 Steve.
