You're welcome. Glad to help. Stephen beat us all to the correct maker.

And it's very interesting to note that the link you provided to the forum's data base shows the same silver under-layment of silver metal under the black paint. It appears to be a nickel silver 'wash' over the magnetic core, very unusual. Take a look...

Hi Robert,

If you look at the cross in the link Adrain provided that seems to be the case as well. It this to prevent rust? Is any other maker known to do this?

Regards,

It's the only piece I have with this silver wash. Perhaps you're right, to prevent from rust. It would surely look good with the paint all worn off. And it looks like real nickel silver.

I'm not sure if mine has the silver wash, the flash brought out a silver colour admittedly. I'm sure it's not as bright in the flesh, it looks more grey. I'm not able to put my hands on the cross until next week but I'll check it out.
