Please help ,EISERNES KREUZ 1. KLASSE 1939 "26"

[Pinky1978]

Hello friends, I want to buy my first Eisernes Kreuz 1 Klasse and I found 2 differents marked 26.
I have a doubt due to the marked 26. As you can see in the photos the marked 26 is different. Are both originals?

If both are originals , which one would you buy? First option or second option.

First option







Second option







Thanks a lot for your answers.

You should also post large, clear, obverse and reverse photos of the cross.
Some members here will be able to tell you if it is actually a Mayer cross or not by the hardware, and beading, etc.

Hi Ralph, I posted some photos of both option. Could you give your opinion?
I would be very grateful.
