Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse 1939 marked L/12

Hi guys,
tell me please, is everything all right with this cross?

Cross-hatching is there, although there are variants of Juncker crosses without. Stamp looks ok and there is a variant with that pin shape.

L/12 EK1....... - Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross - Gentleman's Military Interest Club

I cant say for sure as sadly I have never had an L/12 in my collection

Interestingly the W&L style frame, the pin, the catch, the stamp and the core are appear as genuine Juncker components. That being said, they don't seem to appear in that combination on one cross in my reference books. That being said, Juncker seems to have done all kinds of combinations, so that would not be a problem for me. The L/12 stamp also looks reasonably close to those I see on Junckers.
Some people more versed on Juncker Crosses may have more input, but based on what I see, I would have no problem adding it to my collection.

Thank you friends, there will still be opinions?

[magnat]

I think this is a copy, they gave me more photos

[Woolgar]

Cross-hatching isn’t there, that beading looks cast

[rbminis]

that beading looks cast

Agreed.

The close up photos do change things quite a bit, and not for the better.
