Hi all,

I am posting a few pictures for Henrik. He would like the members to discuss his cross for authenticity.

The core looks like copper or brass where the paint has chipped, can you verify this? I'm not an expert by far on Imperial EK's but just would like to know, thanks!

I would guess that this is probably a good cross. It looks to be a 1939 sized cross. Judging from the shape of the arms, The style of the pin and catch ect. I would say that this was made in the 30s as a replacement piece.
--Just my opinion

Hi Greg!

Yes i have ben thinking like that to. Taht the cross is a replacement piece from the 1930:s but i was not shore of it to 100%. Thanks for your ansver Greg.
