EK1 Boxed iron cross for your opinion

[Waffenamt44]

I can have either of these for $350 (haven't tried to negotiate yet so may be less). I know very little about iron crosses (my main area of collecting are party pins and hj badges). This gentleman had two pins that I spotted where repro's. That does tend to worry me so I'd like to hear your opinions.

1. EK1 - 26 B.H. Mayer
2. EK1 - 15 Friedrich Orth

Do these look authentic? Are either makers rare or sought after?

Thanks guys!!
