Das Ehrenkreuz des Weltkriegs 1914/1918 Authentic or fake?

[erentukenmez98]

I've found this Hindenburg Cross online. Looks OK to me but wanted to get your opinions.
What do you think about the medal and its ribbon? Are they both authentic?
All opinions are much appreciated.

(Unfortunatly I have no clue whether it is marked or not, or what the mark is, since I don't have any other picture of the medal.)

Both the medal and its ribbon are authentic. As far as I know, these aren't being reproduced.

Good lord, is nothing sacred?

Both examples are thankfully fairly obvious, with bad detailing, wonky lettering (in the case of the first example) and fake ribbons. We can at least say that the example above is geniune.

Thanks a lot gentlemen. I am grateful. I didn't know the fact that this medal faked rarely though.

Agree that medal and ribbon are good. Nice find.

As for the fakes you can buy them off Amazon here in the US.

I know these are faked, but why bother when an original costs £10, at least that is what I paid for mine
