Eisernes Kreuz II Klasse

[Adrian]

so my cross is fake because the "5" doesn't have the small curly end to it?

No, the cross is a fake regardless of the stamp.

hi Adrian,,,what at the tell-tale signs that this cross is fake,?

[Adrian]

Hi Robert, try a search for 'Floch', these crosses are very well known and have several distiguishing features. The dates are unique to this maker and easy to tell, the number '3' in particular. Also the beading on the inner corners nearest the swastika is a good detail to look for when comparing.
