Featured Does this Meissen crossed sword mark look genuine?

tehere are some red flags here.
1-Forgers focus on copying authentic pieces by using an authentic Meissen figure for the fake mold. The problem with this technique is that the fake ends up being about 16% smaller than the authentic example.
2- In theory all authentic Meissen porcelain figures (of the same design) should weigh the same because they were made using the same mold. because you said this are smaller than normally i assume they are also lighter than normal.
3- Meissen porcelain should have a slightly bluish white color to it. Maybe its a lighting issue, but this like to my eye quit creamy.

4. and the mark. This model was created bj Johann Joachim Kaendler ca. 1762. if this is an original piece we should see a mark that fits the period. but it is not the case here.
there is a narrow painted cross sword used between 1740-1750 but these had no pommels. The 1850-1920 period used mark had a clear pommels but the swords would not cross straight but more curved and the crossing point more balanced.

so, I think you were rightly referring to the mark. All things considered, I think this one is a fake. But as said before of a very good quality
