I don't like it! That's never a "Meybauer",in the best case the screw is a good one..........leave it where it is and save your money.

I have to agree with Micha - this one just not conform to a Meybauer screwback. It looks similar to an eBay fake discussed recently. The X-plate is the wrong shape, the core and frame are not Meyabuer, I don't recall seeing the "PM" stamped on the reverse of a genuine Meybauer cross and, if you look carefully, the PM on the cross and the PM on the screwdisk are DIFFERENT FONTS. Not for me.

Mike, Micha,
I have NEVER liked these crosses with the large crowns. Are there
any original crosses with this ugly core?

Hi Greg,

I'll have to check. In the meantime, here's a comparison with the only 2 accepted genuine Meybauer core variations (top of the image) I am aware of.

Mike
