Eisernes Kreuz 2.Klasse of my friend

[gustav0606]

Hello!! This cross is piece of my friend. We want to know is the medal good or fake. I have my own opinion, but I'd love to see what you think
Cross is not magentic, and I think it is not made of three piece. This piece have bigger weihgt than my originals.
On ring is marker - maybe is 112.

There is no such Ek2 maker as 112, maybe 113? Hermann Aurich, Dresden.

The mark is '113' as Adam points out.

Worryingly the makers mark does not look like one I would associate with Aurich. The ring is also not soldered so could be a replacement.

I will also point out that the cross does not look like any '113' I would be happy to call original. In my opinion it is a fake one piece.

Agreed there were a batch of fake 113's made in the 80's I believe

Thanks to all! I am also of the opinion that is the copy - simply, when you have it in your hand - it's not good.
