It looks like a good tombak example to me.
Check the large ring for any stamps which would indicate the maker.

P.S. I'll move it to the correct section for you.

I agree. It's a nice Kriegverdienstkreuz 2. Klasse in tombak. Even though it's a common award, it's still a very nice design in my opinion.

I don't see any markings on the ribbon ring, but I'm headed out to get a really good magnifying glass. I'll report back on what I find shortly.

I agree, looks good

Using a bright flashlight and 5x magnifying glass, I can see a small mark on the ribbon ring that might be an "L". It's really hard to see unfortunately, and I don't see anything else (i.e. the numbers after the "L" denoting which maker). How prominent should the maker's mark (if present) be?

UPDATE:
I found a mark after turning the ring several times. I've attached a picture here to try to illustrate, but it's hard to capture:
Appears to be "127" which corresponds to Moritz Hausch of Pforzheim as the maker.
Man, this hobby is confusing but rewarding at the same time!
-
Even without the maker mark I would say it is a Moritz Hausch cross based on the very thin sword handles which is typical for this maker.
