as promised, for your opinions please

so i guess its one of those where you make your own mind up, some knowledgeable people say its right and some sceptics say prove it. Thanks for all your input everybody. i think I will Err on the side of genuine but unproven 'AS YET ! '

One day you'll want to sell it. That's when you find out who really believes its period.

I still don't believe these crosses are authentic.
The design is way off, and so are the extremely round inner corners.
This needle is ww1, but I have seen it on many ww2 copies already.
Apart from that, it pops up marked and unmarked, and with a nice Floch pin as well, so what are the odds it is authentic??

If you think it's authentic, fine with me.
I wouldn't want it in my collection either way, unless it came directly from the recipient with a photograph showing it being worn.

Best regards,
Ben

This is where I'm coming from.

I love it when we're all in one mind and one accord. Maybe it will take a period photo to put us all this way.
