1939 Eisernes Kreuz 1 maufacturer?

[gezandkaz]

Hi,

First time posting on the forum. Recently retired from work and have a very small collection of German medals and awards from the 1st and 2nd world wars. I have recently bought my first 1939 Eisernes Kreuz 1st class which is unmarked. I understand it is possible to tell a manufaturer from the style of pin and frame etc. The core is magnetic and the rear silver but that is as much as I know. I have attached 3 photos of the cross in question and would be grateful for any information anyone could give.



Many thanks
Gerard

Welcome to the forum Gerard, from the images it looks like an original by the maker Klein & Quenzer - PKZ No. 65.
