Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse Unusual Disk Non-Magnetic

[Chrish124]

I am always looking for early Iron Crosses and unusual variants and found this on a well known dealer site. I cannot quite match it to any type. It is vaulted, non-magnetic. It is described as 3 piece, but the head on image of the obverse seems to point toward one-piece (there seems no gap between beading and core, however that is speculative). The other thing that stands out is the unusual disk design. I have not seen one with that exact attachment method for the threaded shaft. If anyone recognizes this type, or is aware of this disk variation I would love to hear opinions.

Thank you

I agree with you from pictures looks like one piece!

Looks like a one piece indeed. Look at the top left light reflection, where there should be a shadow.

I asked one guy who are more in EK1 he said looks like one piece cast fake,maybe he is wrong!

It looks like fake aging on the front and the reverse. Not a screw disc that I remember seeing before either.
I would pass, if it were offered to me.
