Military Merit Cross (Mecklenburg-Schwerin) ???

[lenny]

Hi guys,

I picked this up on holiday, from a general bric a brac shop. I realise it's a Military Merit Cross (Mecklenburg-Schwerin). I also realise that the ribbon is wrong, but is this a late war zinc verision? I've seen the gilded versions of these, and know they are pretty rare.

Any thoughts if it's real, and if so, what is it worth? I paid £10 UKP so happy at that, even if it's repro.

Hi,it seems to me similar to molding.Alexander.

I agree, a cast repro, not an original zincer.

Looks like the ek-ribbon sucks to, not the best 10 pounds you spent... Sorry

A cast fake, note the casting seam around the rim.

Kind regards
