Hello,
Just wondering what do you think about this cross ... It looks like the MM is L/53 but I can't be 100% sure bucause the catch is bent and I can open the pin. Hmmm ... I am not sure about this cross so any opinions will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks again!
Thomas

Wow, tough call. I don't know if it's real, but it is real ugly...

The pin looks kinda Flockish...and the quality on the front isn't impressive. I think I would pass on this depending on price, or provenance. It'd have to be cheap, or from a veteran.

Might be wrong though...let's see what others have to say.

Imo that is a orginal L/53

Hello Mikael,
I just found this post from 2 years ago and it looks like I have my answer right there:
click here for the thread

My cross is identical to the crosses from the above thread. And of course the die flaw for MM L/53 is exacty the same.

Anyways, thanks for your replies!

That's because it is a Hymmen produced example
