Where can I get a Repro Grand Cross

[nt198998]

Does anyone know where I can purchase a Repro or Copy of the Grand Cross and/or the Star to the Grand Cross.

Hi buddy
I think its difficult to find a Repro or a Copy of them
You know...only 1 originalof the Grand Cross, and 1 original of the Star of the Grand Cross....
Although the original Grand Cross was destroyed during an air raid on his Berlin home.
But G******246;ring had extra copies made, one of them with a platinum frame which he was wearing at the time of his surrender to the allies in 1945
So....Hardly difficult i think

And regarding to the Star of the Grand Cross.... The only known example was found by Allied occupation forces at the end of the war, and was eventually added to the West Point military collection

Also difficult to find any copies

Those are my opinions

Here you have some photos:

If you can find them, Souval made both. The Grand Cross copy surfaces once in a while on some of the auction sites and is a good quality fake. The star was available back in the 1960's and the ones I saw were very nicely made. The star was a two piece consrtruction with the beading along the rays of the star and had a good, solid clasp and I believe some small hooks soldered to the back to support the weight on a uniform. I believe the cross on it was of three piece construction and it came in a nice red presentation box. It was $50 back then and I wish to heck I had gotten one. I haven't seen one for a few years. The last one I saw was $15,000 and the guy had ground down the pin back where the L/58 stamp was and replated it and was trying to pass it off as a real item "from the castle".

I don't know enough to say if they are real or not. Definetly not priced for the faint of heart!
