Hi Emil,
Not a Spink product, although often attributed to this maker. Spink crosses are very different and of a higher quality. As covered earlier in this thread, these are British made crosses. The producer’s name remains unknown. There are two versions, most easily differentiated by the suspension ‘tang’, the part holding the ribbon ring. This type (along with the disproportioned barrel suspension type) were sold to veterans post war. One of the distinctive characteristics of this later version is the very narrow wire gauge of the ribbon ring. Yours is a good looking genuine cross.
Cheers,
Tony

I thought the cross was a bit low in qualify compared to the Spink crosses I've seen online, still a nice cross none of the less.
