Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse marked 16 Alois Rettenmaier?

[Angatta]

Hey there guys,
I bought a marked 16 Alois Rettenmaier EK2 in Ciney this year. To me it looked original, felt original, is magnetic and is made out of 3 parts.
But I still want to know the expert opinion of you guys .
Here are some pics:

Compare to mine, I have not seen the 16 marked like that before

I'm not sure that is a Rettenmaier. The stamp is very heavy (compare to the stamp on my example. The 16's have a typical S&L frame.

Check out the difference in the dates too

Thanks for your reactions guys. I am afraid mine is a fake. But I am still not sure. 90 euro thrown away :'(

Thanks Nick! So you're saying the cross is original, but someone just randomly marked it '16' to "increase it's value"?

[Woolgar]

Yes the cross is fine, it's just not a 16
