you will get some positive responses on this one as it has become one of the 'accepted' types of cloth EK1- ie. the F.Schmitt labelled version.

However having handled a number of this type I would exercise extreme caution as they have been reproduced to a huge extent to high quality. In my opinion only the version of this cross with straighter edge arms is period which means this wouldn't be one I would want.

I don't consider myself well versed enough in these to comment beyond a 'gut feeling' but I wouldn't be comfortable with the bowed arms of this cross as pointed out above.

Fully agree!

[ben bijker]

Although I can't prove it, IMO it's a period-made cross.
I like it.

Well someone just bought this questionable cross. Three negatives and one positive in this review. Good luck to the buyer.

What do you think Chet it's original or fake ?
