[makarov9mill]

Hi Gentlemen,
Have had this cross for a while.
Looks repainted and has pin/clasp attachment on the reverse of the ribbon(not correct)
Maker marked 65 for Klein & Quenzer.
Sorry for the orientation can't seem to be able to flip them on my tablet.
Regards
Grant

Hi,
I really don't know what your doubts are about this cross. Marked cross K&Q PKZ 65 with an atypical core (J. Bochynski) or type B (Maerz / Alt), glossy core. Everything Ok. What's up with marking?
Regards
Robert

Sorry new member what do you mean by what's up with marking?.
I wasn't too sure on the paint finish and thank you for pointing out what type of core it is.
I thought the crosses were that Matt black colour.
The ribbon with that pin is wrong though isn't it? Just posted new pic.
Thanks Robert for your information and time to reply to my post.
Cheers
Grant

There were also glossy cores, and the safety pin could have been attached by the owner?

OK,
Thank you very much for enlightening me more on my cross.
I haven't seen too many glossy crosses posted on the web sites I have looked at so good to know they exist.
Much appreciated
Grant
