About the packet: check this link...

It is around for a long time and lately a false manufacturing stamp seems to be added.
Original it was not marked, just a plain blue envelope.
Hand folded at the wrong side, old paper but just not good enough and a sharp designation that fooled almost every EK2 collector at least once.
I know it fooled me with my first cross, bought at the Chiney fair in Belgium.
Which year it was, 1635 AD I guess...

Getting old...

Nevertheless, nice cross!

Cheers,
Martin

Hi Martin,

Thanks very much for the information about the packet- I would not have picked that up myself, great to know,
