Another Fake Prinzen???

[eindecker2]

Just got an auction catalogue and noticed this little 'gem'??? Just wondering what your initial thoughts are on the piece - the ribbon looks post war as the weave is not tight - so not going by that - how about the cross. It looks like the vertical suspension loop goes right through the frame and is not soldered on. Ever seen that before? I would like to get this - but with all the recent fakes???? It does not appear to be a 'stepped' core. Let me know keep or spend the money??
color slide first -

the B&W photo shows the suspension loop better...

No one venturing to take a stab at is originality???

Can we see the other side and maybe have some measurements? Is it a 1813, 1870, or 1914 prinzen? The information given is not enough to draw an educated opinion.

It will be two weeks till I can view it in person. But the dimensions for the cross are 35mmx35mm. The top of the ribbon in 48mm. It is listed in the catalogue as a 1914 EK2 for (get this) women and children (!)
