WW2 EK1 - opinions

#1

Post by Asmoyg » 01 Feb 2017, 01:29

This is my EK1 iron cross with a 3-piece construction. The centre is magnetic, and the needle is intact. No markings. Anyway, someone told me that the iron cross is fake. I do not know if he is right. Therefore, I want some helpful inputs from you.

My question is: does this seem original for you?
(Sorry for the bad quality of the pics...)

Thanks for answers :)

I don't particularly like the reverse hardware on this one. Perhaps authentic with a replaced catch but I would wait for a better and more textbook piece to come along, personally.
