      Look at the flaws in the beading! I'd like to see the "original" it was cast from (I assume cast as the core detail is weak) - I don't think I've ever see beading flaws that bad!!

        Also, 1870 crosses don't have any maker marks. Gary

          The portholes in the crown are the first big flag when looking at these.

            This is the typical cross that is usually marked "Deschler and Sohn" when
            it's found as a 1st class.

            As Don said, the portholes in the crown are a big red flag as is the
            style of numbers in the date. This style date was NEVER used on
            a good 1870 or 1914 and can be spotted from a mile away.
