I was drawn to this one because of the 800 stamp and the fact that it looked like it had been polished

three-piece, magnetic core, vaulted, but, obviously a weird hardware situation

IMO a good AWS cross. With a replaced needle hook.

Thanks guys, that's a relief. I gave it a soak in some "Evapo-Rust" and wow, very little paint left...

Nice pair of crosses.
I also have a AWS pinback. Mine has a repaired pin and also very little paint.
