    Fake Spanish Cross for review or is it ?

    I am a bit puzzled by this one that Carsten Baldes has posted as his fake of the week. To my eye this looks to be an original typical unknown maker, possibly Godet or Juncker.

    Perhaps this is a casting of an original ???

    Interesting, the eagles appear to be of one piece with the medal, their wing tips are over the top of the cross arms.

      It looks like a one-piece construction variant, silver ?
      More details of the eagles and centre disk sould be helpfull, but at the first glance don't see something wrong.

          And Jody's "one piece" original example to compare with.

          I note that the top arm of the 4 x eagle swaz are still solid but beyond that, the badge Carten has listed as fake appears to be identical. Are there any other visual differences ?
