This is a 3/4 sized cross (34.8mm X 34.9mm) made by Zimmerman.

Nice variation, typical for 1813 Prinzens. Never seen it on 1914 crosses. Congrats!
...I just recalled how I bought this piece, three years ago. There were 5 auctions in one time on ebay for Prinzen crosses all eras, installed by one seller. Four of them were stepped core fakes, fifth one was this CFZ. It sold cheapest...
