From the back of the spange look at the left shoulder, notice how it is straight up we call this one a Raptor fake. Jim

EK1 is known fake design, called Pumpkin crown fake. Cross itself is one piece construction with paint flaking on beading rim. You find them a lot on ebay, in pinback and screwback version, sometimes honestly offered as repro.
