Looks like someone had a go with some acid on this cross. Genuine? I cannot say, but I think you are right in questioning its authenticity.

Hi Stuke
These crosses are heavily faked! It is difficult to tell on your example as it is damaged but the swas doesnt look like it should, it looks too thin IMO. Hopefully some experts will chip in

Thanks for posting these pics Kris. I'm having doubts about it after seeing the above. I've never seen an original marked on the ring and I've been through Gordon Williamson's book on the subject and again, all the originals there are marked on the bottom edge of the lower arm. The aging, especially on the '1939' side looks dubious too.

Re: KVK RK for comment.
Exactly what they should or could be!!! And to me the first marks that would dissappear when being in the ground or water for years.Those marks are meant to be file marks,i think. ....
sorry Kris
Thanks for your help all!
