KC a severe case of rust

[Franco]

Hi,
Any guesses who the maker was?

By the dip of the öse it is a postwar fake or at best a C/D frame postwar S&L. Not sure the frame should rust like that with Neusilber, but certainly not if it was silver.

Not an original piece to start with .
Acid bath probably .

It is a postwar made cross IMO

feeling bad how could someone destroy a fake like this.

Because they want to make someone think it was original, and worth more than an artificially aged fake.

Hi,
I can understand peoples scetpticism about this cross.I didnt believe it either,but as
it was cheap I decided to buy it and look forward to examining it first hand.
I estimate that it must have been buried for at least 20 years,anyone who thought
they could make some money by leaving a post war cross in the ground for years has
lost money.The cross would have been worth more before burial than after.

Now that I've looked at the side shots again I can see it's a Souval with low swaz.

Since it's a confirmed fake why not soak it in white vinegar and get all the rust off of it, then repost new pictures of it.

Why not just throw it in the rubbish bin since it's garbage

After a clean up.

It don't look like it has a dipping three which if it were a souval it would have that. You need some straight above shot of the cross front and back to see the ring.Cliff

[Franco]

Hi,
Its not a Souval.One arm of the cross has not corroded and its level with the frame.

Looks like a Morigi fake to me. Now that this thing is crippled, finish it off.
