Good day, gentlemen!
I need your opinions about this cross.

Bad bad bad, but parts seem to be original Frankenstein at it's best!

This EK was won yesterday on eBay for cca 450 euros. First I thought about bidding it, but then i told myself I don´t like it. Looks like A core, but not exactly, mainly that crown. Looks like it was sandcasted in some jubileum era. I mean 100th jubileum, at least.

Thank you! I also think it was constructed later than 1870.

It has the blobs and a 1914 back plate. So it is a frankenstein...

Best regards,
Michel

Core is a recent cast fake, in a good WW1 frame.

Not good, but I've seen worse crosses!
