Iron Cross Help

02-18-2007, 10:50 PM

A good friend of mine had given me this iron cross, and I was wanting to know if it is an original or a fake. Along the sides, the frame appears to be two piece construction. The overall appearance of this leads me to beleive this one to be a fake.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks!

Looks like a Souval that's seen better days.

Rusty Souval, or Orth? IMO.
