    Is this EK OK?

    This is part of a large group I just got in and I wanted to make sure it was ok. The catch is very strange and I think it may be replaced or worse case scenario a fake.

    Many thanks for the help!

        Hi Gary,

        Imo the cross is genuine and heavily worn. The hinge is original, the pin may or may not be a replacement but the catch is a definite repair/replacement. Looks like the cross has brass frames as well.

        Evaluate the item, not the story and not the seller's reputation!

        If you PM/contact me without the courtesy of using your first name, please don't be offended if I politely ignore you!

          Hello Mike,

          Many, many thanks for the review! You are right that the frames are brass, That part I actually liked as the wear patterns were consistent. The fakers usually can't get that part right.


          Cheers
          Gary

            A nicely worn cross. If it could speak I wonder what it would tell us?
