Is the cross hollow? Any markings? Can you photograph the edge of the cross arms and the barrel?

[Chopperman]

I see a lot of imperfections in the gold rim at the outer edges of
the arms but I have never handled an original so I do not know if
this is normal or not.

The blue enamel part is slightly movable, but as far as I know this is acceptable.
I also didn't find any markings on the cross.

[SolAwards]

The cross is not magnetic. Perhaps anyone knows how to determine whether it is gold at home?

[VtwinVince]

It certainly lacks the quality I would expect, and does not appear to be gold. Most of these were unmarked.

I checked it with a jeweler, the test showed 583 gold. So the cross comes out original.
