Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse for Opinions please.

[vanheerden01]

Good day gentleman. I have been offered the following cross to add to my mlitaria collection. Apologies for the quality of the photos as this was sent to me via WhatsApp from the seller. From what I can see everything looks good but this is not my field of expertise at all. I would really appreciate your valued opinions on this item. Kindest regards Mardo

I don't like it. The Swastika and date looks really weird. Wait for other comments.

[vanheerden01]

I agree, the date looks odd. Also the paperwork looks suspect?

[Sensei]

Can't really comment on the paperwork unfortunately.

Not a Klein & Quenzer ( 65 ) . Fake round 3 - 1 pc - mm 65 IMO .

You're showing two different crosses in one post.

A one piece fake in a square case, the other EK1 marked '65' in a round corner case. Much better pics are needed of the latter, to say anything about its authenticity.

Regards,
Nick

This is a good example of why items should be posted separately.
I felt that the "65" looked good from the reverse, I couldn't figure out why it was a fake from the obverse.
