Opinions please on Bronze Spanish Cross

Dave,
My "instinct" says (for whatever that is worth...probably not much) that this is a real badge. I like the pin and catch set-up, and even though the detailing is a little soft, I have little doubt that these crosses were produced in quantities far greater than we might think, including by companies we may never have heard of (or at least not heard of as SK makers).
Best,
Leroy

Thanks Leroy for your opinion. Much appreciated. I would love to hear other opinions as well if possible. Thanks in advance to everyone!

the mark in the box looks like a 6 or a 9, from what i can see.

If the mark in the box is a 6 or a 9 this cross is in trouble. I would love a close up or large scan of the number box.

I think it looks "soft". "Soft" swastikas for example + some rough/unfinished edges.
But I also admit that with the new pictures it looks better.
I´m not very stubborn in this case.
I know that you have far more experience of SCs than I, Sal.

Hi Ludwig, I agree that it has a soft look but I think this is a good one. It does raise the old S&L question because another I have seen with this hinge is also "soft".

It would be nice to hear what Jacques has to say.

Dave can you get a good shot on macro mode of the numberbox?

Can you scan it? It must be way closer

My guess: 4

[Sal Williams]

Definitely 4. I would say this is a good cross.

Has anyone seen a genuine 6 or 9 mm? If it matches one could conclude that they bought S&L crosses for resale.
