Hello. I bought this from an antique dealer and wondered if it’s real. From some brief research (here and elsewhere) it looks fairly authentic but I’m confident you guys can tell me if that’s so. Many thanks for your time.
Hi. Can anyone tell me if this silver mutterkreuz is real or not. Thank you.

Welcome Simon.
An original silver Mutterkreuz and original ribbon in nice condition.
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
Thank you for that confirmation. My first purchase so I’m grateful I got a good one.

You are right to ask because there are a surprising number of fakes but all the fakes I have seen tend to have odd looking enamel with no visible pattern under it and rounded edges, corners, points etc where they shouldn't be.
I am sure the fakers will catch up on these points but for now once you know what a real one looks like the fakes are not too difficult to spot.
The one shown here appears to have a high level of original finish too.
Regards
