S&L Crosses were/are indeed thicker at the base of the arms (and a little thinner at the ends). 58,8-56,7 leaves us 1.1 gram weight difference between a genuine St&L and the cross in question. Perhaps this is due to an actual St&L being thicker than this one - at least the one that I have inspected in person confirms this.
The "o" mark found on St&L pieces (both during and post war) would not be found on an item like this. You would find that items like Qualification Badges, Assault Badges or Post War Oak Leaves for the Knights Cross. Now the "o" mark on this item...who knows what it is from, but I am firm in my opinion is that it has nothing to do with St&L.
