Don't throw it away yet.
Not all the one-pieces are fake.

Mine on this picture is.
It's made of lead and can use it as a back-up pencil.

I wouldn't want your EK not in my collection.
It's very suspicious.
But I can't say for 100% sure that it is a fake.

Here is a shot of the edge of Brian's cross.....

Hello Brian,
Is it safe to say that you can bend the cross with fingertip pressure?

Why are you guys still discussing this? I can't believe it.

No beading is going to "wear" like that. Look at the inside of the beading near th core !! It's got no definition either....

His knife cuts through it??!! It's lead.

Unless the 3rd Reich resorted to this precious metal in the last days.

Darrell is right about his one.

Looks bad to me, there is too little paint worn off when comparising it with the other damage
