Iron Cross-1st class

Hi
This is another item from a collection I recently inherited. I am trying to sort the good from the bad. Can you confirm if this is original?
Many thanks

Looks good to me

Can you make out the maker mark on the pin or can you get us
a better picture of it.

Thanks,
Greg

Hi Greg
Looks like it could be KAW and then 800.

KAW is still an unknowen maker and one that we don't see too often

nice cross,
Greg

Thanks Greg
One for the good pile. I have quite a few 2nd class crosses in this collection. I know they are common and you guys see a LOT of them but I cannot tell original from fake. Have these been copied? If so I will post them here one at a time for a quick yes or no.
Regards
Andy

EVERTHING has been faked

You are more than welcome to post them. We would like to see them.

Andy - great EK1! As for the second class - yeah, they are copied too. It would help if you list the maker mark from the ring (if any) with the pics.
