Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse need help if real or fake

[rhodesia]

This is in a coin shop and both frames are made of silver with iron core he only covered the nazi symbol I have never seen a screw back with SS ruins on the back, he is only selling it for the silver content does not know if it is real or not he only deals with coins, can anyone help me if this is real or fake? thank you

The markings on the screwback are utter nonsense.

I saw something like this recently at a flea market in Berlin. A fake award had every stamp imaginable, RZM, SS, LDO marks etc.

As for EK2 someone else will contribute

I assure you, it is not silver.
Try using it to write on a piece of paper.

Well the coin dealer refused for me to test it, so I passed on it, must have hurt his pride, you would think if he deals in silver coins he would stand by his word that it is silver, LOL thank you for that information
