I agree with Sanya.
Very interesting cross, I see it a second time in my life.
Today I played in search of similarities

The frame of the cross is to finish as a typical "fake with rounded corners" (I mentioned in the pictures), but here we have a "straight arm".
Reverse of this cross reminds me a O.Schickle's cross with the first type of core (photo), but the date 1939 of obverse core resembles me the Wiedmann's core (photo).

Totals such a mish-mash An interesting cross.
Of course, please treat it with a grain of salt.

Sanya, I have questions :
is this cross one-piece?
is no magnetic?
and his weight is about 32g ?

The frame is totally different front and back (totally different shape).

I've seen this type before but never in my hands.

I've always thought it could have a chance to be authentic but I wouldn't judge it without holding it.

Now my cross, I got it for 2 years, I know about the existence of even one like this, but this shown by Sanya can be the third.
I must admit that for me (I emphasize IMO) this cross can be a very early prototype of cross EK2-1939 unknown manufacturer, although of course I could be wrong...

very good pictures Jarek and your is showy piece, I like it

the dealer asked price was 550€
He told that the material nickel silver

IMO interesting piece ,

[boch_62]

In my view, the cross is made of brass, while the frame itself also was covered with a alloy nickel with silver, in my cross this cover is worn and visible only in a small area of the frame.
