Hello and welcome to the forum.
Please read this thread regarding posting in the EK section of the forum.
The Use of German Terminology.
The cross you have posted is a Souval cross, indicated by the "claw feet" on the outside corners of the beading.
I believe, this is most likely a post war cross.

Ok Ralph thanks for the reply. Was it made from original dies?

Quite possibly, they continued to make these for the GI's after the war.by Historynut
I suggest you wait for other opinions, as these are not my strong point.

Thank you Sir, I will.
Hoping for more commentary on this.

Thanks, I am patient.
Sorry, but this is not a Souval. This is a so-called 'Souval fake/look-a-like', sometimes also referred to as the 'Stuttgart fake'.
No original parts and not from any wartime dies. Return to sender asap.
Regards,
Nick
OK Nick, thanks for the advice.
Mike
