JimZ Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 Gents...what do u make of this 1870 - genuine or fake? - Jim[attachmentid=52445] [attachmentid=52446]
Biro Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 It looks pretty good to me Jim.Can you confirm whether the core is stepped - which would be unusual - or the beading is simply lifting?Marshall
Daniel Murphy Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 I agree. It looks like a well worn original. It does look stepped in that one corner doesn't it? Dan
Brian R Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 I agree that the cross looks good - kinda looks like this one I used to own (as part of a 5 piece bar)...
joe campbell Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 these two crosses appear to be brothers - fromthe same die - and look good to me.joe
Chris Boonzaier Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Can it be that the relief is not as deep as in the early issue ones?Maybe a 1900 or so replacement?
Stogieman Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Note the slightly crooked bottom arm. A common thing amongst the early issued crosses.
