Hi KFS,

The 1813 "Blücherstern" Star is a very crude and probably recent fake. It looks to be of the same vintage as the Grand Cross from the other thread to me, with a similar level of finish and similar rust.

The 1914 piece, I think, is a post WWII display or collector's piece.

I think someone has been exchanging ek's as the golden back-plate is similar in both pieces in my opinion.
Maybe it is the 1813 and 1914 S&L collector edition from 1957?


So KFS could you open the 1914 one and show the backside of the cross if it is possible (if it won't open then leave it)

Best regards,
Michel
