So Ron, good luck finding all those.......

I suspect it will take 25 years, but there's nothing else you can do but search the bazaars, shops and the Internet all the time, and you need a thick wallet for that.

Your cross is a Juncker with a W&L magnetic core. And J. Bochynski found and described in his book 18 variants of this manufacturer.

Thanks Robert for your identification of this Juncker. Incredible number of variants for this maker! I was only considering purchase of this one. If I get a Juncker for my collection I think I will be on the hunt for one that has the L/12 on the frame. Going to be a challenge but that's what makes it fun too. Ron

I will be happy with one nice Juncker variant. So many other great makers to search for

And then you have to find the ones with hand applied frosting, which are my absolute favourite.

One note Ron. Crosses marked L/12 are quite expensive (last time I saw somewhere the price was around 2500 €). So there is no waiting queue. Before buying, ask the seller for accurate photos and put it on the forum to verify authenticity. Believe me. I've seen various more or less successful fakes.
