war merit cross/kriegsverdienstkreutz real or fake

[thecyclist64]

Hi Guys (or girls),

can anybody tell me if this war merit cross is real or fake. I'm a little concerned that the swords appear to be a little thinner than other examples I have seen. Ribbon under black light appears ok with no reflections

Looks okay, but rough condition...these are very common, no need to settle for such an example...I paid $35 for this one...
cheers, Glenn
