Iron Cross First Class
I have just started collecting WW2 German medals and documents. I purchased an Iron Cross and when I received it, it appears to be a reproduction medal. Photos of the medal are shown on the web page listed below. Could I get an opinion from some of you who have much more experience than me.
Thank you
Cliff

Re: Iron Cross First Class
Please post some pictures or scans of your cross. The only Iron Cross in 1st Class I see on that site isn't even on the page you linked. . . What makes you think it is a reproduction? Is the cross you purchased the Imperial Iron Cross in 1st Class (1914) on that site?

Re: Iron Cross First Class
No, the item is a WW2 Iron Cross first Class, I clicked on the link below and it takes me to the page with the pictures of the iron cross I purchased. All of the Iron Crosses i see on line appear to have a flatten hook for the pin, this one is rounded

Re: Iron Cross First Class
Please post some pictures or scans. . . The link obviously isn't working because I don't see any Iron Crosses in 1st Class (1939) on the page you linked. . .

Re: WW2 Iron Cross
Hi Cliff, I see nothing wrong with it at all?
I would also like to know your concerns?
Cheers, Ade.
PS: I have merged your two threads into one.

Re: WW2 Iron Cross
looks like a seam on the edge, does the centre magnetize?

Re: WW2 Iron Cross
Hi Colt, a seam there is fine. These are multi part construction. But bear in mind not all EK I's have magnetic cores.
Cheers, Ade.
