Eisernes Kreuz 1914 - true or fake ??

[danhashman]

Hey mates..

first of all, i do not know if i am posting this on the right place as i dont see a WW1 Kreuz section, so i dared to put it here, hope there is no problem with that.

i am being offered this cross, but i am quite ignorant on this matter.
i see any mark, but maybe the pin/clasp might profe clueful ?
Any opinions? I just have got this 2 pics, hope they help...

Best regards to you all

Dan

I have a feeling that it's a one piece fake. These pics
do not enlarge to be sure - plus the condition
is very poor..........

As Steve said, The pictures make it hard to judge the details but
it does appear to be made in one piece and I do not recognize the style of pin and hinge.
I have some serious doubts about this cross.---------------------------------
-----------change that---I have no doubbts about this cross ,Please see my additional post below.

The photos need to be better very hard to tell you need some side views also but from what i see it looks like a repo

I just did a quick scan through ebay and the cross you are being offered is most
definitely a fake. The bad pictures helped to hide the details of the core. That core style
has been making the rounds for a while now and that pin can be found with and without makers
marks. Usually "Deschler and Sohn." but also with various other fake marks.

Here is just a few examples I found----
