Baltenkreuz original or fake?

[Danziger]

Dear all,

I hope you can help me with this one: what is your opinion on the originality of this Baltenkreuz (Baltic Cross)?
Unfortunately, I only have these two pictures supplied by the seller at the moment:



Your help is much appreciated.

Kind regards,
Rene

Beware of that dealer.

Many fake Freikorps items are coming out of Hannover.

Thanks Robin,

Unfortunately, I have just bought this Baltenkreuz. What is your opinion on this particular piece?

Is there a way to get out of the sale on ebay if it is not original? Or just don't pay and be contend with a warning and a negative feedback?

I have never gone back on a sale over all these years but I am tempted on this one if it turns out to be fake. It was offered as an original.

Best wishes,
Rene

Rene.

I wouldn't trust anything he has to offer. He seems to put batches of Freikorps stuff on all at once, then weeks go by with nothing.

I have been caught myself, but it was not an expensive buy so I just put it down to experience. The 'Awaloff Cross' I bought looked great in the photo, but when it arrived it was cast junk.

Here is a fake Iron Division Medal he offered a few months ago.

Robin,

he just offered the Iron Division medal today again! It went for approx. 81 Euro or so.

I got the Baltenkreuz for 75 Euro
