Is This Hindenburg cross original?

[Steelhead10]

Hi again all I am not used to collecting German medals and this is the only photo that the seller has given but what I want to know if it is original?

I dont know i was just asking

Sad, but true. They are, indeed, also being faked. Heck, they even fake Mother's Crosses now....go figure. Can't really give you much of an opinion on the one posted, though, as the photo doesn't tell all that much. I don't particularly like the color of the metal, but that doesn't mean all that much, of course. The same goes for the ribbon-it looks kind of shiny for being almost a century old, but who knows.

I don't think they are,but I don't know too!
cheers

apparently it was found in a barn 20 years ago

The ribbon doesn't seem to have sufferd.... in that barn......

[Steelhead10]

I thought that so I posted it here the description says in a box in a barn

[Wagriff]

It's not like they are expensive or hard to find. Personally, I think I'd wait and pick up a different specimen...
