Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse ?

[johnschou]

I have just got this, I am not very keen on Iron Cross, could this be a Second Class Iron Cross or Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. I know it is from WWII
All info is very welcome

Regards

It is a Iron Cross 1939 BUT it is a fake. Despite the bad quality images this is most likely a one piece fake.

Not even the correct ribbon.

As Jonas states it's a bad fake on a KVK ribbon

Hello,

I am afraid that this is as Jonas has stated a fake.

im no expert on these as i only own one EK 11 ,but can i ask what makes it a fake ,is it the encroachment of the blackening of the iron core onto the frame that makes this a one looker one piece or is it possible somebody touched up the black very badly onto a 3 piece ,just curious is all, thanks james

Totally the wrong suspension ring & dodgy paint job cheers Paul

[Woolgar]

Unrecognisable beading, fat suspension ring, date numbers .....

Yes Harry, I will get rid of it as fast as possible, now I also had a closer study, it is crap :-(

im no expert on these .......but can i ask what makes it a fake ,

Very good point - even I ( certainly no expert ) took one look at this 'medal' and thought - 'All wrong !'. But for the less-experienced collector, I think threads such as these are very useful to clearly warn against what is for sale out there.......
