Use the macro setting if your camera has one.

Hello all,

I hope these photos are better, i tried to take them by the window to get as much daylight as possible however as you can see photos are not my best skill.
all the best,
Daniel

An original W&L cross and original ribbon IMO.

A good original cross.

Cheers, Ade.

Hello all,

Many thanks for those who helped in this board,
i checked the rings and could find no maker mark.
I am glad and happy that it is an original.
Its my first iron cross from ww2 and im happy i got it at £50 if its original.
also i will check out the topic on photos and for future photos i will go to my window.
All the best and thanks again,
Daniel

Sure looks like a W&L!

this may sound silly but is there one set factory W&L iron crosses have been made?
or will i never know due to the maker mark not being on the ring?

W&L's factory was located at Mittweida in Saxony.

Cheers, Ade,
