The reverse looks o.k., note where the rivet has been 'tightened' with a tap on a screwdriver or drift. The Zimmermann DKiS I had exactly the same marks on two of the rivets, I have been told that they were known for coming loose. That's not something you'd expect a faker to think of. A clear, close pic of the makers no.20 under the pin would also help.
The photo you've got up in the Classifieds of the obverse is not good enough to form a considered opinion in my view it's too small and grainy. You need closer, focussed shots of the date, wreath and a close up of the "11 o'clock flaw".
Regards, Ned.

Re: gold cross iffy ??
Not entirely true at all. The cross that started this thread is authentic.

Re: gold cross iffy ??
So my suspicions are confirmed....It IS a genuine DKiS.
On the other hand it's a shame that Kev missed a bargain due to other concerns that now appear unfounded.
