1813 EK2 replacement cross

[adren]

Hi guys,

would like your opinion about this one, it is claimed to be EK2 1813 from 1850-1870 period, but I don't know something looks a bit off:

I think there were a article on these crosses some where on the forum and the consensus were that they are bad.

It's a "later manufacture" 1813 EK2 -- I would estimate, 1985-1995, Latvia

It's called the "stepped-core" fake.

Yup, these have been making the rounds for some time. Good as a filler item only.
