no one?

There are no replies because it's a tough one to call.

I wouldn't have it in my collection, as this pin setup is unknown from period originals, and the frame/core combo are also unknown to me, precluding the idea that it could be a replaced pin on a good, common cross (which we sometimes see).

But it also doesn't match any fakes I know.

For me, it's probably a fake -- maybe an old one, maybe a brand new one. But of course there is also a small possibility it's not. So it's a hard one to call, for me.

If it's not already yours, my advice would be to stay away.

Hi

This one is not easy
I dont like the needle and pin setup but it dont mean its bad

I should look for another more textbook cross if i were you
So save maybe a little more money and buy a 100% good cross

Best
