Stalingrad Cross - authentic?

[scotland99]

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone could give an expert opinion on the following. Please find photos attached.

Many thanks,
Matt

Most of the examples posted on forums are not original, larger photos would be required to determine if these are, or not.

P.S. Moved to the correct section of the forum.

Are the Schulterklappen also supposed to be of the same age? For me they look far too pristine to be of any great age?

Hi there,

Yes I expected this is one of those pieces that are heavily faked. I could only get 1 additional larger photo - please find it attached to the additional post. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. I presume they could have been put together at some point.. I have also attached a larger photo of the cross.

I believe originals were magnetic, were they not? That may help you with these..
