First impressions are - we need the other pics, we need to see the reverse of the DKiS especially.

Adrian, here is the reverse of the German cross in silver. Looks good to me!
Re: German cross in silver and a 1936 Olympic medal i am being offered...opinions?
Not for me.
Does not look like any original Juncker 5 rivet design.
Cheers, Ade.

But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

So are saying for sure that the German cross is a fake? The guy is willing to send b to me for a physical inspection......
Re: German cross in silver and a 1936 Olympic medal i am being offered...opinions?
The guys are quite right, I would not be happy with this cross being original. It was made to deceive and it is a very good copy. It's very easy to see how a collector could be taken in by it, it is good but not exactly right.
As Ade has mentioned, the rivets are not what you would expect on an original Juncker. The hinge, pin and catch are close but not close enough.
Looking at the front, the ribbon at the bottom of the wreath doesn't match an original, the spacings are wrong. If you open the photo up to it's full size the very poor finish to the swastika is apparent. The varying thickness on the silver border is visible against the black enamel as are the rough file marks. This poor quality would never be passed on such a prestigious TR award.
