IMO it is a fake. I'll compare with good cross (Jørn collection) and I see a few differences. Mark 900 and font of 1939 looks bad. Arms of the cross are to grainy.
It's only my opinion, wait for other.

weight around 38 gram !!

pictures are blurry because of blackberry i had this cross in hands 900 is small but clear
the 1939 looks odd and it seems to have the grain in it but there is no in real hand comperison

just wanted to add this

the arms are raised like an beer gut

I also believe this to be a fake. The date does not match any known originals from any maker and the area around the date should be smooth, not with pebbling such as above.

hi ade

just like i added a min ago when in hand this isnt visable around the 1939 its the camera
will try to make some sharp pics next week when i visit him again

I can also confirm to be a fake.
As I learned from a similar one, one to be a ground dug..., that they were never stamped on the (base)side of the cross.
