Miniature mutterkreuz silber, with pin. Real or fake?

[Iron Hussar]

Hi all,

Any ideas on this? I was only able to find one sample of a mini Mutterkreuz with a backing pin on the cross itself (and that's on this forum). Is this a modified MK, or just a fantasy fake?

Thanks for any thoughts as always

It looks okay to me.
I have one posted here for referernce.

You can probably find a link to dasmutterkruez.com in this thread.
Update dasmutterkreuz.com
There you should be able to see pretty well most of the variants that were available.

Hi all,

This little guy just arrived in the post today I've put it to scale against my gold Mutterkreuz.

That's a really nice looking piece with the more unusual pin mount rather than the ribbon bow mounting.
I am not too sure of it's originality as I note the quality of the white enamel looks a little poor and I have nothing similar in my collection to compare it with

Still a nice little example
All the best

Nothing wrong with the mini. The enamel is just thin applied thats normal imagine how hard it is to put enamel in such a small mini.

Now you have to look for the half size variant
