Croce al Merito di Guerra - Cravanzola

[BTR]

Good day to all.
The cross is not neat. The metal is strange.
Please express your opinion on the authenticity of the cross.

Hi, BTR
the cross is ,authentic, you can find differences between the different examples because they were produced by different makers, moreover these crosses are still very common and I do not think they are faked.
The differences can concern:
-Thickness
-Surface color of the metal
-Ring support
In particular the ring support of your example and that of the type called "flowered", and takes its name from the type of decoration present on it.

Regards
Roberto

This cross was accompanied by a document on the blackshirt, dated February 1942.
Everything in this kit looks appropriate to the time and the document and the tape - but the cross looks like a new one, that's the doubt )))
