 Knight's Cross


M-1657 Steinhauer & Lück Knight's Cross

Here's an honest field worn example of the coveted RK by S&L of Lüdenscheid. This is a textbook cross that is correctly marked with the "micro" 800 silver mark on both the frame and the ribbon loop. The paint is in fine condition with a few small chips as show on the swas. Three piece with a magnetic core. For those of you checking this against references the 3 o'clock are exhibits the typical beginnings of the notorious beading flaw of the type A. Included is approx 4"  piece of original ribbon with a string device that has been hand sewn in place as was quite common in the period. Exc+
