1870 Cross opinions please

[Pepe77]

Hello Gents,

Im still struggling with 1870 EK2 and I´d like to have your opinion about this one.

Could you please tell me whether it´s good or fake?

Thanks in advance.

It appears to be a 9th bead fake to me. I'm sure someone will confirm or refute this shortly.

Isn't this the same cross as in the previous thread on 1870's?
