Ehrenkreuz der Deutschen Mutter im Gold and Kriegverdienstkreuz II Klasse - genuine?

[KSH]

A couple of other medals..

Are they all genuine? Looks good to me though, but I am never 100% sure as I have too little experience.

Thanks in advance.

The Mother's cross and presentation box look good, shame about the enamel damage though. You don't tend to find too many fake Mother's cross knocking about.

War Merit also looks good at first glance, although the ribbon is a repro.

I see nothing wrong with the ribbon looks ok to me.

R M Militaria: What makes you think the ribbon is a repro? I have actually blacklighted it and there was no effect (I know this alone does not prove anything as fakers too often do their homework properly).

Thank you all for your input.

A nice characterful Mk set there Kenneth

Nice originals! The Mutterkreuz is a good example in nicely used condition. Sometimes the wear on the box and discolouration of the interior make a nice change from the clean and mint sets, it adds to the character IMO.

The KVK ribbon looks original to me, I hope RM can add his thoughts as to why he believes it to be repro?

[R M Militaria]

If the ribbon is good through black light as you say, I may have been wrong in my assumption. I will reply again when I return from business with a more definitive answer to why I thought this.
