Hello,

it concerns to a R. Souval cross. As far as I can see it is without doubt a nice genuine one.

corners

Hello all,

Aren't the outer corners on the beading something in particular to look at on Souval examples? Please let me know either way as I remember seeing that they are slighly different then most.

Thank you.

yes, they are 'sharp', inner corners are 'roundish' and a die flaw on the top arm's beading at the far left.
You cannot mistake a souval!
