I never had one in hand, and only have a fifth class. But for what I see in the front I must say I like it too. The enamel looks very crisp and nice.
But wait for better opinions.
Member Marisca is the one you need to ask, he is a expert.

The detail on the eagles tells the story! It looks to me to be a textbook Godet of Berlin specimen. The milky white enamel around the swastikas is as it should be-unlike so many fakes of these that you see and the hardware and the 2 rivet construction is also textbook. A superb Order of the Eagle Star award. I can see no problems with it. As Kris said-you should contact Marisca-he will give you the definitive Yay or Nay on it, but I definitely like it.

I find it strange that the eagles are different sizes or is that because of picture angle.?
Trick of the light,I would think...

It is the photo angle Harry, the are all the same size. Even a reproduction wouldn't likely have that obvious a mistake.
I think it'slopped to one side because of pin.from me doing an experiment just now.from me a thumbs up like it.
Very nice.
Always found a strange beauty in these awards.
Hope it's genuine
