I am looking at a 1st class screw back iron cross, with zinc core. On the screw back marked ss rzm 41. Was zinc ever used as a core? Thanks John

As far as I know, any medal marked with SS and RZM are fakes made from lead out of Poland.
Photos would help.

zinc 1st class iron cross pic
Here is pic of cross. John
I may be wrong, but from that photo it doesn't look like a 3 piece construction. The paint from the core overlaps all the beading, looks just like a cast piece?
Walk away for the reasons stated

Thank you for the input, I had not actually seen the cross & your expertise save me a 40 mile trip. Best regards John
I have one of these fakes , was originally from Poland and marked 41 also . Here is a picture for reference ,
Yeah, but you have to admit that the markings on the screw back plate are neat!
