What to look for on an Iron cross

[BodhiEtheridge]

I am going to head over to the dealer where I buy most my WW2 German awards, I know he normally has a iron cross first class in stock and I am thinking of buying one if he’s has any, so I was hoping somebody could tell what to look for when buying one.

Impossible to really answer, take a look at some recognized dealers examples, usually the type of pin and catch and makers marks are key, as well as 3 pc. construction and magnetic core....

Thanks I will take your advice, I will post a picture here of what I buy (may not be an iron cross) when I get back with whatever I buy.

Hey, sorry to anyone who actually cared or wondered about what I bought, the place I went was effected by flooding and are moving shop, here is a random item from by collection just because why not.
