I need your help in IDing this cross. It came in an S&L envelope, but it isn't an S&L (at least it doesn't match mine). Thanks, Jim

Jim, I'm a little stumped. Any chance of a better date photo?

Trevor, does this help? Jim

May be an Otto Schickle.

I don't recognize it, but I don't think it's a Schickle.

Jim,
Any chance you can post pics taken in daylight please? I can't find a match to it and it's not giving me a good feeling. That suspension ring at the top is quite substantial and distinctive, I can't remember seeing one like it before. Hopefully Daniel or Robert can give their thoughts also.

I was thinking the same thing about the jump ring, Adrian. It looks too large in diameter. I'm not familiar with this cross, its dates, etc.

Daylight

Here is the cross taken in daylight as requested. Also, on the side of the ring was to indents.
The ring is 14mm in diameter.
Weights: 22g
Width: 44.30mm
Height: 44.23
Thick: 4.44

Thank you for the additional pics Jim. They haven't helped bring me any closer to an ID but I will post pics of a cross with a similarly sturdy jump ring, see what you think?
I have posted it on the forum before and although no-one could say for sure it was a fake, no-one was entirely happy with it either.

Date

I got out my super closeup lens and took another picture of the date. Even this doen't show what I wanted and that is the 3, across the top the 3 starts out on right side and then dips a little and then back up. Jim
