Iron Cross Second Class for review

[ww2germanhelmet]

Hi guys. Just picked this up. I am not experienced in the WWI EKs so I'd appreciate if you fellows could give an opinion.

Thanks! Dave

The cross weighs 14.6 grams as well. Not sure if that matters though.

Any makers marks on the large ring?

[ww2germanhelmet]

The suspension ring is not marked.

Good one by Wilhelm Deumer, Lüdenscheid. Probably TR-era. These came magnetic and non-magnetic. If marked, it would be marked L/11.

Value is about $60-70 in this condition, or $100-115 with the L/11 mark. With ribbon or in better condition, value increases.

Appreciate the info! The core is magnetic.

Cheers! Dave
