Biro Posted September 1, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Murphy Posted September 1, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian R Posted September 8, 2006 Share 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)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe campbell Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 these two crosses appear to be brothers - fromthe same die - and look good to me.joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted March 21, 2007 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Note the slightly crooked bottom arm. A common thing amongst the early issued crosses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
