Eisernes Kreuz 2 need help verifying authenticity

[Tomww2]

I recently bought this ek 2 as a gamble and I am unsure if it's real or fake and would apreciate it if someone more knowledgeable then me could help me with this one.
This ek 2 has a lot of paint wear and a broken of ring with a new pin soldered to the backside.

It looks like a one-piece Fake that has been battered and crudely altered with a pin... Personally, I don't like anything about this piece at all...

I agree with Glenn .

[Tomww2]

could you perhaps tell me what is bad about this one? besides the pin ofcourse

[GlennAgain]

It's not 3 Piece Construction as it should be...

[Tomww2]

I just checked and it is at least non magnetic and are there any known 1 piece constructions ek-2 out there perhaps

[GlennAgain]

I assure you that this is a Fake, friend...Study the originals here on the Forum...

I also agree with Glenn.

There are one piece Ek2 examples out there, this is not one of them. The one piece crosses are distinctive. Search on the forum, there are several posted. As the guys above state, this is a fake cross.

Here's a link to some one piece crosses:
