In the process of putting together an ICCS submission and can't quite decide if this one is a Cross/Bowtie or not. The bar seems really straight, but having trouble identifying if there is a vertical bar or not as well to complete the cross.

Tough call. I'll say low VF details (cleaned).

I don't see a cross. It looks like just a regular bow tie.

VF in my opinion; possibly 30 though it's always hard to tell from photographs. Not sure that this has been cleaned - perhaps dipped at some point?
