Knight's cross verification

[Dolch]

Hello, can you please help me verifying this ritterkreuz? Is it ww2 period made?
Thank you. IMG-20200818-WA0048.jpg IMG-20200818-WA0044.jpg IMG-20200818-WA0045.jpg IMG-20200818-WA0046.jpg IMG-20200818-WA0047.jpg

I agree with Andy, definitely not period made.

If not "period made" please provide some facts in support.

This appears to be an early 1940 Juncker made cross, the first in 800 silver.

I'm reasonably certain the problem will be with the frame, as not being Juncker, because the cross hatching though in the four corners of the center, is absent from the corners of the cross.

How about focusing on the iron core?

How does the core on this example differ from original period early Juncker RK's?

What I know shouldn´t a Juncker ring look like that, see picture

Is it possible to get some flat on pictures? Usually if someone takes photos at angles they’re possibly trying to hide something. The points on the frame edge don’t look crisp and defined, too rounded.

This is not a 1940-made Juncker, neither frame nor core. It is not an original as already stated.

[Gary Symonds]

Dietrich what are the differences in the iron core?

[Dietrich Maerz]

The numerals, especially the reverse "3"

Yes, I see, thanks.

The angles without straight on photos comment is very true. The straight on shots immediately reveal the reality.

Thanks a lot for all comments!
