Hi All,

I wanted to hear the opinions on this piece, as I might be interested in it. I see the crude jump repair, and I guess it is overpainted. What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance,
Michel

The cross itself looks to be OK. It does have a crude repair job and yes.
it has been repainted and the ribbon is most likely not original.

It would make a good filler piece (if the price were right)
until a nicer one can be found---and these are fairly easily found.

Considering the watermark this one is not cheap, right?

Negotiation is a must.

You can be pretty much assured of that without even looking.

I have bought a few items from Mr Winkler. in some cases, he is willing
to negotiate.

Hi Michel,

Personally I think this one is probably okay, just late (maybe even WWI era).
