Singer cruciform rare?

[tankhunter]

Thanks for that info Limpet. That's what's good about this site. All this info is here - somewhere - just waiting to get out. Someone else PM'd me to the effect that a batch of fakes emerged a couple of years ago with G - arrow - R as the cypher instead of the CORRECT G - crown - R. Some other fakes have a step where the blades join the socket part too. There's some good pics a few threads back from this that illustrate a correct point and logo

Peter, The CORRECT MKI Should have either the small stylised crown & GR on the socket, OR, a larger finely impressed & detailed crown & GR. The fakes were usualy made from MKII's with flutes machined onto the spike. ANY spike made after a MKI will NOT officially have been stamped with this crown & Royal inistials.
