Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse / Legit or fake?

[MANOS]

Hi Martin,

Indeed I notice an extra mark on the jump ring that I still cannot discern what it is. Thank you for the info. I will upload a picture later today.

Hi Nick,

Many thanks for the comments. The only point I notice something is above the swastika. There is a spot that seems to be flaked off but still keeps a black color. Other than that I don’t see any inconsistencies on the core’s color. In fact, it does have certain points that could have been repainted by previous owners but they are not (swastika side / reverse looks good).

Is there a thread listing all makers with details for each maker?
Any ideas on how to discern repaintings?
Any rule of thumb regarding the ribbons authenticity? What should a collector notice?

Many thanks,

Manos
