1914 - Gross Kreuz

[Henri S]

I need pictures or reference for checking out the authenticity of a Gross Kreuz (1914).

Thanks

There are some pictures in the "Iron Cross of 1939" and the "Iron Time"
I doubt you will find pictures and resources outside these books, perhaps you could post pictures of the item you have?

I've been trying to check for photos for the past week with no success. Here are some photos. I will take more in needed.

I've read there were 5 recipients of the original, and probably a handful of museum copies....(and I'm afraid yours is not one of them)....so I'm interested too in what this is...

What exactly do you mean when you say you want it checked for 'Authenticity'...?

I'm not sure I would even buy a COPY of this award without the Iron Time, or the Iron Cross of 1939...

Looks like a one piece clunker.... good for a fishing weight maybe?

Does not look good from here either... Is it a one-piece, cause it sure looks it.
