Hi
Well..I am not really expert on EK, but..my little sense tell me keep away from this one, because of the corner of the rim and the hinge...
Good luck

Eric

I am very suspicious on this cross

thanks. Why are you suspicious? thats not to contest your opinion, I just want to learn something

IMO the numbers look odd

It looks possible, judging by the curves and round look of the swastika and date that the black inner section was repainted. you can also asume this by looking at how the swastika buldges out beyond the ridges. The backside is almost completely clean and unscared. It seems that someone might have refurbished it. I personaly consider it a quality reproduction and would not purchase it.
