no opinions?

Reverse looks good. My concern is not so much with the pin but whether a Schott badge has a broader first stroke on the 'W' in 'Walter.' This one does! And so do originals. The Schott fakes I have seen do not have the broad first stroke but the 'W' is entirely uniform. Based on that, I think this cross to be good at least from the pics. Steve

are there any other opinions?

this should be a copy?

A much closer view of the maker mark would be helpful, but my first impulse is this is an original with a replaced, pin and catch. The pin hinge may be original with a new pin added onto it.
