I gather it does have some silver in it, so it worth something. But no , I would stay away from that. The hanger ring is wrong for starters, and it looks more like an EK/2.

No silver to be found in that rubbish.

Some WW1 EKs had 800 grade silver frames ... some of the 1939/45 Knights Crosses had 800/935 grade silver frames.

Come on! The backing looks kinda shiny, might be REAL silver.
