At a guess I would say either a patriotic or similar pieces, not a match to any EK1 I am familiar with??. One piece stamped construction, where a period EK1 is three piece.
Interested what others think on this one.

Maybe it is a sort of cast of the fake?Comment

Very possible, but it is not modern product, I've known him for 30 years

Slawek,
The cross is cast and not a struck piece. A careful look on the reverse beading shows casting 'balls' and areas where the beading is soft and in some areas it totally disappears.
At best this cross may have started life as a photo album cover emblem with the pin added at a later time.

I really think this was designed to fool. The obverse seems to look like it has a separate centre, like it is made to look 2 or 3 piece. The detail is too good.

That was my observation too. But the reverse is so obviously wrong that nobody will get fooled with it. Theater/film piece or album decoration seem good explanations.Originally posted by Jesse View PostComment

I still think it is a match of the fake, hence very dubious.
