Enough space between core and frame to park your car in. Plus other stuff.

A "lazy 2" Juncker do not look like this. Run away from this attemt to replicate a Knight Cross. It is simply a fake.

I really will not know if that is a fake or not. That is the difference between you (experts), and I (a begginer). I wonder how do you do to see what is a fake and what is not?
Do you think the saler knows that this cross is a fake?

Yes, I think, after looking at the picture in the left top corner, that would be the only thing that will put my red flag flying.

Little by little I am learning, thanks to you all.

Do a search on Juncker RK's. You will see that many things are not correct on this fake. Eyelet, markings, inner corners... All wrong.

Cheers.

Thank you Peter & everyone for your comments.
To me, initially the markings were the ones that put me off, especially the 2 . But after reading & researching more about "Junker" RKs ...more red flags appear! Shows me how valuable this forum is

One crazy thing though...this RK is now up to US $500++
Someone is really going to get burned with this....
