oh ok cheers nick it fooled me anyway. i take it the same goes for the case also, i may just have to take it back to the guy then.
The case looks ok to me, but not my forte.

The hinge has an oval plate under it. I thought that one of the biggest red flags for a Floch is a lack of the plate?
Like I say Mo, I could be wrong and other opinions are essential

Mo is correct about the oval plate. Your cross could well be genuine!
Sorry to give you a scare !
