Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2. Klasse mit Schwertern - opinion

[Tisdalle]

Hey folks, I've an unmarked KV2 that I bought from a seller whom recently passed me a fake item, so I'm a little paranoid of later.
Review on it would be appreciated.
The ribbon looks fine and not reacting to UV.

The medal itself seems ok, but I noticed a hole just bellow the year and some casting faults on the sword's blade and near the sword and the ring. I marked where on the photos.
Not sure if normal or not.

Once more, thank you very much for the assistance.
Best regards,
Tisdalle.

That one would not be for me. It does look like a cast but the pics are a little blurry. It might just be a poorer late war quality badge but I'm doubtful, there are too many things going on and it has all the signs of a casting.
These are very common so better to find one without issues and question marks. I would seek to return for a refund.

I agree with Adrian.
The quality of this one is poor, even for a late war zinc example.
