This cross was in my collection about a year ago.
The small "openings" are not unusual, inspect your early ek's under the same magnification and you will see it happened all the time.

I can't comment on the patina, when I purchased the cross it had been cleaned, and I described and sold it like that on the E-Stand

A fine original in good condition.

Best regards,
Ben
