StephenB Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 It's my first visit at the forum, and I'm impressed! Compliments to all of you!I recently bought a Spanish Cross in silver without swords. I really don't know much about these, accept that they are quite rare (if original). The seller had originally bought it as an original, and claimed that it was. What do you experienced and scilled guys think? I would highly appreciate your opinion. Is it a fake? Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter J Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Hi Stephen, My opinion is still the same, rubbish. Welcome to the forum cheersPeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe campbell Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 welcome, stephen!while TR is not my bag, it was for a while.i had several spanish crosses, and would have toagree with peter.the hinge, especially, makes this quite suspect,as well as the configuration of the stippling around thehakenkreuz. also, and i may be all wet here, the adlerwas spot welded to the cross. these seem to be cutas one piece with the cross itself.i suspect you are rather upset and hope you can find satisfaction.joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev in Deva Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Hallo Gents Again I am not a TR expert but;Is it just my eyes or is the work around the swastikas rather shoddy as well?Hallo StephenB, welcome to the GMIC a piece of advice often given here at GMIC and its timeless:"Buy the piece not the story" sellers claims often lie in the domain of pure fantasy and childrens nursery ryhmes.Hopefully you will recourse to get your hard earned cash back from the seller.Research and more research also helps.Kevin in Deva.

StephenB Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 Thanks to all of you for kind help and useful information. I did suspect this to be a fake, and I now concider it as confirmed. Lucky for me it is sold with an originality-guarantee! Thanks again for all help! Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Hi,I don't think it is an original one.Bad color, odd pin and hook. One piece construction that do not match with the known variant one piece construction.I advice you to send it back to the dealer and get your money back.jacques Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
