Bulgarian 08 Crests

Not that I am disagreeing, but I would need a lot clearer photo of 38XX to state for sure that the die is broken. The vertical lines, such as the curved sides of the shield, are much less distinct due to the oblique lighting. If I blow the image up and exercise my imagination (

) I can almost convince myself that the sides of the crown are there. Note the "washed out" right side of the crown on #866 due to the angle and the lighting.

Its fine to challenge my theory

I do think the die is broken and separated across the top.

The data is very sparse but at least the theory is based on data and not grabbed from mid air.

I made a follow-up post to this inquiry over on the other Luger Forum if anyone would like to clarify or contribute.

Looking for clarification as to what LugerVern thought was broken and in which images.
