Personnaly I've some doubt about the EKII marked 5 on ring, the frame and dates are different to known exemplars.
But is possible for not clear photo or my personal limited knowledge.
I wait more pics or another opinions.

After the new photo, I'm sorry but the cross is a fake, probably a fake made on Lituania very dangerous. (last frontier of fake Iron Cross).

Here is an interesting discussion where Danny displays a maker marked 5 'Floch' and warns us about mm '49's

And what do you thing of the medal with number 12 -long servise. Fabri mentioned that it was fake .

I think its an ok medal, just very salty , but that is IMHO !

Here is my genuine one to compare if you can.

Have a look at some threads and see what you think

well I'm no expert at all, for me this is my school I am tying to learn, my only German medal is a German wound badge. I bought it from Alan G. so I am pretty sure it's real, thanks for showing your medal's. I have enjoyed them.

regards

Nice medal Nick.
Views are too different to make a comparative with your.
We can just compare close-up of details because fakes have good details (as happens with EKs).

Regarding to the 1st medal showed (12 years), material it 's not right IMO, then head is not right too.

Edit : just found 1st important difference in the red circle.
