Hello John,
when I first had a quick look at the pictures I thought ..A nice original zinc cross but when I had a look at the close ups I do see a lot of casting flaws.
These flaws are particularly noticeable on the reverse.
I am hesitant to say it is a good one IMO due to the poor quality of the cast.
Others will hopefully give you some more information on this cross

Cheers
Doug

Hi there,

I got my fingers burnt with this post war Souval copy. Luckily, I got my money back. If you read the thread below, it will tell you what to look out for. From what I can see, I can't see the tell-tale Souval notches. However, I dont like the ribbon ring, which looks suspiciously like something that you would hang a key off with it being folded over double. That alone would put me off. Also, we would need to see much clearer pictures.

Hope this helps.
