Looking at these crosses, they all appear to have the same very skiiny "W"

and all seem to have the same forced looking patina and the same amount

of frame wear.

Without seeing a good picture or holding one in hand, it's impossible to say

for sure but the look of these crosses plus the fact that this dealer is known

for selling a lot of fake crap gives me reason to really doubt these crosses.

I welcome more opinions.

Someone needs to bite the bullet and buy 2, just to compare.... ;-)

I was going to buy 1 but I have no money right now.

I think Kay was going to try to get one.
