Kriegsverdienstkreuz 1.Klasse mit Schwertern - Unmarked

[WarCollector2019]

Good evening fellow collectors,

I have been offered this medal as part of a job lot of original items.

Can somebody please help me determine originality - it looks okay but the casting looks slightly flawed in some places, or is it just age related?

Also can anybody id the maker if genuine please.

Thank you, Glen.

Personally, I don't like the catch Glen.
Best wait for other opinions as well as these are not my strong point.

Hi Glen
Maybe I'm wrong (wouldn't be the first or last) but it looks a bit "imperfect" to me, but I'm no expert at all.
Let's wait and see what others have to say.

Im with Ralph - the catch is too big!!

Not only the catch is bothering me, the overall finish of the cross is poor.

A fake for sure
