Number one cross .... modern made St&L IMO ( maybe it has the "o" mark on top arm ) ?

Hi Andrew
It has a decent silvered frame, core painted before assembly, open hingeblock, thick catch, and longer late style pin, all those things, coupled with a magnetic core, should make this one around the 70 - 72 period

Gents, thanks. Actually this cross came in an LDO box, no idea whether that one is belonging to it or not. The cross was wrapped in a white paper, I kept it. The only reason why I did not list it in the box because the internal "base" for the medal is missing (you know the one with the small channel for the pin).
