Stay clear of this one Tom its a fake
The date, and markings, etc. give it away.
Tom, as Lee states....repro.
Prost ! Steve.
Yep, as Steve and Lee have said ---FAKE.
The quickest easiest way to know for sure. There are NO 1870 screwbacks crosses.
Beyond that, This cross shows up all the time with a variety of different makers
marks. Deschler and Sohn, D-S, M9, along with others. It is very easy to spot
because of the style of the "8" in the 1870 date and also the holes in the crown.
Here are a few more examples of this same cross---

I was addicted to the "Hokey-Pokey" but I've turned
myself around.
