Ehrenkreuz für Frontkämpfer

I know what this is the Hindemburg Crosses for combatants but I'm curious about the authenticity of this. The dates seem to be an odd font and they seem a bit subdued. Any thoughts?

Nothing wrong other than a bit of wear - it's a good one.

It may have been rubbed from hanging
beside a first war EK II.........

HAHA great news! Thanks. I've been having bad luck with reproductions. :/

These are still very plentiful, and also comparatively inexpensive,
so no real need to fake them - It's likely to have happened
though, with everything else being copied these days.

This type of cross was my first war medal purchase.
$12 - ages ago in the mid 1970's.........

HAHA So with inflation maybe $30 now. I'll take what I can get.

Usually around $20 - $25 with ribbon.........

These are interesting to collect in their own right, as there are
three types and many different makers. Probably the most
common German award.

As Steve says, a good cross, no need to worry about it being a reproduction. There were many makers of these awards so a variation in numbers and minor details is inevitable.
