    Default EK2, need help! Fake?

    Hello!

    Saw this cross for sale. Looks kinda odd. At first It almost looked like a "Schinkel B", by lookin' at the two first pictures. But when I got more pictures it looks kind of fake. So I prosume it's a postwar cross with original austrian ribbon?

    Thanks.

    The ribbon looks ok, the cross does not. Schinkel 'B' crosses will always have a round '3'.

    Thanks Adrian. I was actually thinking that for myself, thanks for the info!

    Well 50€ for a ribbon is kinda expensive!
    Cheers, Anton.
