Ehrenkreuz der Deutsche Mutter Erste Stufe - Mother's Cross 1st Class (Gold) Real or Fake?

[SpartanX9]

Hello All,

I am looking into acquiring a Ehrenkreuz der Deutsche Mutter Erste Stufe (Mother's Cross 1st Class - Gold). I am new to collecting, and want to avoid fakes as much as possible. In that vien is this Ehrenkreuz der Deutsche Mutter Erste Stufe with its presentation case, real or fake? What are the main indicators of a Ehrenkreuz der Deutsche Mutter being fake? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This may help some, the original ones have a pattern behind the enamel, fakes do not, however the fakers are aware of this and do try to mimic this, there are other subtle nuances too, I'm sure others will chime in soon.. G
