Hello.
The 20 mark stands for Zimmermann. A cross from Zimmermann have very sharp inner corners. Your cross have slightly rounded inner corners. The little antispin peg at the back is missing. Pass on this cross. There are better crosses out there.

Cheers.

Hello,
for a better comparission please have a look at the attached photograph of an EK1 20. So you can see what Peter have meant.

IMO is that cross not a Zimmermann and I venture to say it does not be a contemporary item.

I agree with Peter and Franki. The cross does not have the obverse characteristics I look for in Zimmermanns.

Apart from the fact that it does not look like a Zimmermann, a screwback should never have a PKZ number only an LDO-number (if at all). I don't like this piece.
