The cross looks very good based on what I can see in that photo. Would really like to see the Spange up close.

Really tough to tell. I would like to see better pictures of the date
and the crown. These combinations have been coming up a lot lately.
--1870 with over/under style date ( very possibly a "9th bead" fake.
better pictures could confirm this.)
--25 year Oak leaf cluster with "Sans serif" style letters
--1914 Spange ( these are an entire debate in themselves )

All together this would make me be very very cautious.
