Thanx for the reply's pinpon, appreciate!!
When i search for other imperial ko crosses i always see that the pin as a bit bigger than the cross. That's not on the pictures of my cross. So i'm thinking it's fake. But you never know for 100%. Will the specialists please stand up?

In my opinion this is a good KO. I think the pin may have been expertly replaced, but also I think it may be original. These were finished by hand and this one may be just finished a bit more than usual.

Case is also good -- a mid/later war issue case.

Hmm streptile your answer makes me doubting

You must be very paranoid someone is going to run away with your pictures. With all those watermarks and such .. it makes them very hard to see much of anything.
