I do not feel to well about this cross. Difficult to put the finger on what is wrong but it does not appear original to me. It could be the photos that makes the finish look washed out and weak. There is rust there that is typical for artificial patina on fake crosses. The L/12 marking... I have a negative attitude to pieces marked L/12 and the marking on this one does appear to me to be fake.

I agree regarding the finish. The whole thing also just seems a misshapen to me. Maybe the wildly uneven frame is throwing me off a little, but the arms just don't look like the right shape for a standard EK1. Also, is it just me or does the upper portion of the 3:00 arm not seem to fit into the frame, which could rule out a shifting of the core as an explanation for the date and swastika also being a little off center.

I don't like the cross either.
I doubt authenticity as well, but I can assure you that it isn't a real L/12 cross.

It seems the core is way off the center..seems strange indeed
