e stand EK1 cross opinion

[Schwerpunkt]

Hello , could I please have an opinion on this cross. Since I'm more a helmet collector crosses arent my specialty.

I've compared it with the one on the wehrmacht awards site but the date seems different the rest looks okay.

It's a maker mark 100.

Thanks

the frame looks like it was manufacured by W&L, but the core is 100& godet or zimmermann. i would not want this cross in my collection.

Compare it to this one, if the rim is like on this one it´s a Fake.

Back side do look like a 100 but!!!!!

Finaly the maker mark, oOo yes it´s 100. But the rim dont match a 100 and not the core, and the ek is very light. These do come whit diff pin´s and mark´s like L/54, 107 and some more. Stay Away from this type.
