Interesting. The obverse looks like a S&L TR or earlier 57er core/frame. I'm wondering if this is another example of a "frankenstein" cross - ie original obverse, fake reverse - rather than an out-and-out fake.

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

Yes, I was thinking the obverse was very convincing.Comment

We see this so much lately -- core swapping coupled with the addition of desirable marks -- that I wouldn't doubt it for a second. It's a dangerous way to make a fake.Originally posted by Mike Kenny View PostBest regards,

Not a nice story... asking on a forum, getting told it's not the real thing, and then selling "without garanty"...
