It's nice to see so much good and original crosses, but i put this one to help everybody who maybe would buy one like this for real, it's a NOT GOOD.

Thanks for the pictures bronkie. Now would you explain exactly what all the red flags are on this cross so that we may all learn. It helps to know all the bad points to look for.

Cheers, Ned.

T'is one is mostly offered for around 300€ ( if the seller is honest and tell's it's a repro), so don't imagine that its a lucky day when you find this RK, for all the red flags now it's compleet a red flag, for what i see on first site is all the outside corner ribs are flattened it can happen for some but not on all at the same time and grade its more to hide mistakes in pressing, mm 20 or L/52 is knowing for inner clowing in the inner corners but what i see here it's something totally different, and there will be more thing's ....., compare it whit an original and it would exclude immediatly.

€300 is still alot of money for a reproduction. This piece was made to deceive no doubts on that.

The makers mark, dates, beading and suspension loop are all red flags for this cross.
