The one on the left is marked 100 and looks fine to me but the other one is a bit odd looking and im not sure if its good or not. First off it looks to be a one piece construction there is no seem line at all and it is also non magnetic . the ring looks odd also ans as does the ribbon . can anyone tell me if its good or a fake ? please

Does anyone have any ideas if the cross is a good one or a possible maker . Like i said it is one piece construction and non magnetic . This is the only one i have like this so i really cant tell

Take that cross and drag a corner of it across a piece of white paper. If it leaves a line like a pencil then its tintype slag or another cruddy metal. If it doesn't leave a line then at least you know its not a cheap fake and can move on to other methods...

It does leave a line so I take it its a fake. The mm 100 looks Good correct

Hello I am the seller.I had both of these checked on the forum. Both of them checked out to be original.They are a few pages back. Not sure how to show the link. Best regards.

hello dave can u send me the link please

[maurice2396]

i have looked at the link that Dave posted prior where forum members said the un marked non magnetic one piece cross looks to be a good original and now as i have it posted it has seemed someone is stating it is no good. Is there something wrong with this cross or is it good. Please can someone help with the clarification is it good or is it bad

I was one of the members who replied to David's original post and thought from the angle of the photo provided the cross looked like an original '75'. It wasn't mentioned the cross was one piece and both I and another member also asked for better photos to be sure, which weren't posted.
In view of the better photos posted by Maurice it now looks like this cross is in fact a one piece fake.
