bent over pins??? ....... no way Jose!!!

To me this a a "one look" fake

The most srtiking / obvious points are the reverse of the tank which is a "mirror" of the obverse and the attachment to the wreath with bent wire pins. I have never seen either on wartime examples. The bent wire pins are really not what I would expect to see on any German made award even post-war.

Also, it's not really visible but the catch looks very post-war.

What is the asking price? That should give a real indication tooif it is suspiciously cheap.

I doubt this would even be wanted by a re-enactor given current standards in that part of the hobby!

PS Danmark just beat me to it on the pin thing
