Re: iron cross 2nd class
Well, I'm somewhat of newbie, but it looks like it could maybe be a Souval cross? It looks "rounded" to me, but that could just be the angle?

Re: iron cross 2nd class
Callum, can you post a clear shot of the makers mark please?
It looks remarkably like a Souval but getting up close, it is very unlike a Souval in particular details.
Many of the features used to identify a wartime EK from this maker are missing or very poorly executed so at this stage my feelings are that it's a fake cross trying to be a Souval.
I have no idea about the box but it doesn't look like an original.
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....

It has the distinctive Souval inner corners

Re: iron cross 2nd class
Hi Callum,
I'm afraid I have to agree with Adrian, this is another of the 'Stuttgart fakes'.
They're showing up a lot lately.
I hope you can get a refund...
(IMO, AU$300 is a very high price, even for a genuine EK2)

Bad luck Callum I got stung with one of those buggers and I keep it in my collection as a lesson learned !
