I've had a look at this one carefully and compared it to several wartime produced pieces and some post war crosses. The non magnetic core and the die flaws point me to conclude this is a post war produced RK. All the wartime examples I've compared to do not exhibit these flaws. I'm not sure exactly when it was made but from reading up a little on these crosses, the general consensus is that they were made after 1957 by Steinhauer & Luck.
These make excellent display pieces and I would definitely buy one in lieu of an original for a fraction of the price. Is it yours? Did you buy it for the price of an original?

I would be quite happy with it too if the price was right!

It might not be acceptable to everyone but as representative example for less than the price of a wartime produced piece I'm sure I would find a place somewhere in my collection for it!
Please post the oaks and swords, it would be good to take a look at them.
