2 Cross of Grunwald

[Wat05]

I seen these online but I have never known much about Polish ODMs. Are these genuine Grunwald Crosses? Thanks for any help.

Wat05,

Hard to tell if they are original.  The majority of these crosses on the market aren't.  Measurements weights and finish are  usually how they are authenticated.  Your pictures are not of a high enough quality to even take an educated guess.  That being said, I don't like the back of the cross shown in the final picture.  The edges/tips are not clear and crisp as they should be

Here is a link to a GMIC thread I took part in a few years ago where we compared several crosses.  Mine is included.

Regards,

Gordon

Thank you for the help!

Would you perhaps know where I can find genuine Grunwald crosses? Or is it really something that rarely appears?

Unfortunately I cannot say anything about the originality, but the 1st cross cannot be correct, as all raised parts of the II. class are gilded.

Got it, thank you! Hopefully I can find a good one somewhere soon!
