Agreed, sorry, bad cross. Case looks to be modern too.

Cross is no good, as said. Dietrich Maerz's German Cross book is an excellent reference for these, and indispensable if you are thinking of buying one.

Thanks for your help

Anything obvious that gives it away for future reference?

Well .. where does one start? There is not just a few things ... you could say almost every detail is wrong.

Everything. The wreath, the pin, the rivets, the date shield, the stamp... for starters, none of these is correct for a Godet, which is what this one is 'marked' for. I really highly recommend the book I mentioned earlier. You can save yourself a lot of trouble and money.

..... none of these is correct for a Godet....

Nothing is correct for any maker known pre-45.
