Here's a very late 57 made cross (maybe the 1990's), paint in the ribbing, "stay bright" medal frame, no markings.
To my understanding - collectors copy.

Here's the second one that I purchased from the Wehrmacht � awards for sale forum. You can�t see it in the photo but the cross has a bronze / gold color patina on the ribbing both sides. The Cross and hanger marked 800. Both Crosse�s are second pattern. This cross has no paint in the ribbing, and thought to be made during the 1960's. It's a outstanding made cross compared to the first one posted.

No 57 KC lovers in the crowd uh ?

I thought about getting an early example but never pursued the urge. At present the urge is all but gone.
I appreciate seeing them Jamie.
