The cross is a fake, made by Floch

Haven't heard of Floch fakes for years! Even without the fake mm, it stands out.

Juno, remember this pin assembly and the low date and ugly 3. A lot of people have been taken in by Floch fakes over the years.
I'm not too hot on '39s however, so many the more knowledgeable TR EK guys can elaborate, but I believe one or two original makers did use a low date, so by itself that isn't a definite gauge to spot them. The hardware on the back, however, should set alarm bells ringing.

Unfortunately a bad one.
