Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse - i need your help

[nikoslira]

Original or not? I need your help. i want to sell this iron cross, but i dont know if is original. It retaining 90% of its black finish, and absolutely no rust or corrosion, The reverse shows average age patina, with hinge, pin and clasp functioning perfectly.

Looks like a Deumer L/11 to me. No red flags that I can see.

Looks honest enough to me too. I have one similar less the box around the makers number.

Regards, Ned.

The last pic doesn't show the same cross as in the other pics, just look at the catch and the finish.
Your cross is an unmarked K&Q, if i'm not mistaken.

Hello there,

I can only agree, two different crosses start the forum thread, a salty unmarked "65" and a LDO marked Deumer.
