Hi Gents!
Good morning!
I believe that these Croix it's a COPY.
There are some of you Gentleman that can confirm mine doubt?
Thank you very much for your answers!
Have a nice day!
Gian.

Hi,

yes, it is fake/reproduction.
Check for example the knot of the laurels that is the main visual error (amongst all the others).

Below is the picture of my own original, taken from the supplement to issue N°92 of "Les Amis de l'Hémicycle" which will give collectors a way to a) identify an original CDGL and b) a way to identify the most dangerous high-end fake currently on the market.

See You

Agreed with Vince still very hard to find even for a repro.

Hi,

currently proposed by Helios Auctions as original (i contacted them but it seemed that at best they do not care, at worse they know they are proposing fakes and dubious items).

Here is below the file i sent to them... Unless you're blind, it is hard to miss the differences...

See You
