Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse

Hello everyone
I own several EK2, some with producer's number, some without
But today I would like to hear some opinion on this one, which is without any number,
What puzzles me is nothing more than the fact that IT IS TOO NEW TO BE TRUE
Plus the fact that with no maker's number I cannot confront any distinctive feature.
So, thank you to anyone who would like to express his opinion on authenticity and -eventually- on the maker

Picture added.

Sorry for the double picture, Vicky your picture did not come up for me the first time.

Looks alright to me. The patina on the frame is convincing, and not at all like what you'd see on a newly-made reproduction. There are also rust 'veins' on both the obverse and reverse of the right arm, which is another good sign as it's a difficult - if not impossible - characteristic to fake. In my opinion, an original unmarked cross that has been well-stored.

Regards, B.B.

Looks a good one to me as well Vicky and I agree with B.B on the small rust veining on the reverse and the patina. It has been stored well to preserve it over the years and this is a very nice EKII.
