<p>[QUOTE="the blacksmith, post: 4364467, member: 20148"]I have heard that a good starting point is to see if it is magnetic. Many copies are made of a look alike alloy that isn't magnetic. Another little test is to take a piece of paper and try and insert it under the raised rim, from the middle of the cross. The genuine ones were made with the middle section being a separate piece of metal, so a piece of paper should just slide underneath.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
