No, this is a fake '113' that has been on the market recently. The maker mark is different than an original as well as all of the other features. Here's an original to compare with...

Hi Robert, you say recently, the only reason I am asking is because I have had this cross for 15 years. It is a three part construction with a sight rattle from the core when shaken.

I also have one of these 113 fakes, David. I bought it as a 113 original, and discovered the frame was being used on many fakes we see today on the market.

Hello David,
sincerly 1st sensation was not good when I have seen your cross. Now, comparing with Robert's cross it 's very difficult to bellieve your is an original.. I agree with his opinion.
