S&L C-frame with Swastika

A German collector sent me these pictures yesterday. Some peope in a German forum are of the opinion that this is not an S&L product but rather a fake (of a fake).

This is IMO not correct and one of the rarer erxamples of the late fakes from S&L.

This is a later "C" frame from S&L, characterized by "bleedover" of beading on the lower 9 o'clock arm. Here is an enlargement showing this:

And here is another such cross (sorry for the bad photos).

And a photo of their "57 core version" using this same frame. (This cross belongs to another member here - I believe Luud - and credit goes there for this photo.)
