      Looks believable to me but other than I cannot say.
      Interested in hand-stitched EM/NCO LW insignia and cuff-titles

        As Rich says it looks fine, commonly these patriotic pendants are silver marked for content while yours is not. There are innumerable versions of patriotic pieces with Iron Cross motifs manufactured to cater the patriotic sentiment of the German population during the duration of the war.
        Below is a photo, that is not mine but used entirely for reference purposes, if owner disagrees I will gladly remove it, to illustrate the point.
        Thanks for sharing.

          Many thanks for your picture...on the next photo you can see, that the link is silver marked (800), but I don´t know if it is the original one...

            Marked ring is also correct, I see no problems with your piece, an honest piece not a great monetary value, but for some a nice historical memento.
            Thanks again,

              Hi,

              Even if the piece were unmarked it just looks right to me also.Im not saying that fakers have not tried almost everything (even Hindy crosses now) but its unlikely that this type of pendant would be faked due to its low monetry value i believe!

              Nice piece my friend

                These could have been used on watch fobs as well as necklaces as shown in the picture above
