As I figured but I'm not and EK guy and since there are some pretty f-ugly originals it's always worth asking before I dustbin it. Appreciate the help.

I am no expert but.....I think some features are suspect.

Hi Andrew,

I wouldn't dust bin it. I'd etch REPRO or FAKE into the back and then sell it on the Bazaar. I've done that with a few items and found they have a market with re-enactors, folks who may be on a limited budget and just want a filler or in one case a fellow who actually has a sub focus of fakes in his collection.

Regards,
Stu

OK, done. I just hate the thought of something ending up in someone's collection. I've got nothing in it as it came in a large collection, but someone else might. It now has REPRO scratched into the back and is on estand

Personally I would melt it down, make a bullet out of it and fire it into space!

Seriously though, I am sure a reenactor would get good use out of it

do you think this cross is very good looking?
its just ugly, no TR cross is ugly.

Take a hammer and smash it.

Nope, don't think it's good looking. I didn't like it when it came in the collection but wasn't sure so thought I'd post it to make sure before I got rid of it. And yes, I do think some TR crosses are ugly.

Good idea with the Repro on the back..
