Fake German Cross Stick Pin

[Gregory Koepp]

hello, i wanted to let everyone know that there is a new fake german cross stick pin out, here is the photo. as you can see it is made poorly (solid cast) and the swastika is not in enamel, on the rear the needle is completly wrong and is bent over then attached, and the twist is really poor too. There are allot of fakes coming out that are all stamped L/50, so be careful if you run across any L/50's with bent over needles.

I hope this helps someone?

Hi Greg,

thanks for the heads up!

May I add that original pieces also show the rivet at the reverse.

Thanks, Greg. I'll move copies of these pics over to the German Cross thread in the "Crosses of the Werhmacht Fakes Gallery."
