Better images are needed Daniel. Ask for them, and if they arrive, post them on here. If they don't...forget it, as it can often be a sign that the seller is trying to hide something.

Regards,

Carl

Carl is correct. If he doesnt play ball then forget it. There are hundreds of other EK2's out there to choose from !

ok so guys i brought the item from ebay, the person who sold it had 100% feedback for many items he emailed me saying that if i believed it to be an unreal iron cross i could send it back to him for a refund.
Here is the iron cross it arrived today. please give me out of 10 how sure you think its a repro or an original ?

thanks
Daniel

Images in natural light without the plastic cover are required to make a concrete decision, and will enable the identification of the maker too. The beading doesn't look quite as sharp as I'd expect from a period EK, though better shots may well alter the clarity. General wear and ribbon look fine, but again, better images will help.

Carl

It stands a chance, but we really need much better pics as Carl said.

Cheers, Ade,
