In my opinion a reproduction.

how can you see?

[Harry]

crap quality frames, low dates and frankly does not match known examples. There are many really good fakes nowadays, but by comparing to original makers they can usually be spotted.

The 3 first pictures is new pictures of a new cross I would like to get an opinion of this to.

[Peter Wiking]

Very crude replica.
The ring dips deep in the frame. The frame is uneven with lots of dieflaws. Crude markings.

Is it marked with a "2" ?
2 is for Juncker and the characteristics in this cross does not match a genuine Juncker cross.

Sorry.
Peter

third reich ritter kreuz

look at the top

you see a L/12 repro knights cross web

i think its a great copy

[Dietrich Maerz]

I really don't know exactly what you are talking about? But "800" is not a maker mark but the silver content stamp. It was not introduced in the 1950 but rather sometimes in 1800. I still have to see a genuine cross marked with "825" silver content.

errr, I have to say, I didn't quite get it.

There were 800 stamped crosses on ww2, or did I misunderstood what you tried to say?
