Hi Massimo,

Unfortunately, I think this is a post-war Souval fake Schinkel-B type.
Straight on photographs would help to be certain.

Regards - Danny

Danny is absolutely correct. A fake Schinkel 'B'. Originals should have a round top '3'.

Can you please tell how to recon!? u know just to avoid to spend money like this again!

These straight arm crosses with little or no curvature to the edges are known as Schinkel 'B' EKs. As I said before, originals have round '3' numerals, not the flat topped type as above. The beading pattern is not like original Schinkel 'B's either. Sonny (Snni) has posted his here in the past. Try a search for 'Schinkel 'B'' and compare yours to Sonny's.
