Well im not that shure it´s a fake. The rim say in some way Souval also the core. So IMO a 1960 maybe made Souval?. Made whit worn out tools.

take a look at the date on my mm25 its the same. the 1 is fat and touches the 9, there is a thread i recently posted re mm25.also the cross hatching on the inner corners match. but there are die flaws on mine

[tinmantis]

44mx45mm
(no scales sorry)

[tinmantis]

gaz, here's your mm25 matched up with mine:
seems like different frames, same core? Although 1819 looks fatter on your core?
mine seems a bit of a Franken-kreuz! or are they both monsters?

hi jon

they are both very similar measurements and do seem to have the same core,but i just dont know as to if they are good or bad ,very strange. if they are bad surely they would have done a better job on the date as the rest of the cross seems to be very well made.
