Hi! You can post images using a service such as photobucket.com. I am sure pics will help!

A couple of ways to tell if you have a Floch, though, is to see if the ribbing on the frame overlaps near the corners... it shouldnt. They should be uniform as the ribbing meets in each corner. Also, check the date... the 1939 should not be right next to the frame... the Floch crosses tend to have the date really close to the frame.

Hello, you can send me your images to my mail: feldgrau89@hotmail.com
And i will post them for you


Floch is a very well known cross maker

I once asked a fellow (Dave Kane) and this is his anwser:

""Floch"....used frequently to suggest fake...Although Johannes Floch had reproductions made for the dealers he surely didn't cause to be made all that is attributed to him."

If indeed it is a brass core I doubt if it will be a fake attributed to Floch. All of his fakes utilize a iron core. I've yet to see any brass core fakes. That is not to say there are any out there however. Get some pictures up and then we will know what we are talking about.

Santiago,

I'll repost them below is a more suitable size. You can cut the links. It will be easier on the eyes

I don't suppose you can get them any bigger? They are a bit out of focus but for sure it is not a Floch. In fact, I dare say it is a good one. Congrats!
