opinion on KC of the War Merit Cross

[ChrisJ]

The pebbling inside the wreath, strange wreath, the 1939 looks strange etc etc plus the weight should be 42,3 to 42,4 grams according to: http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/war_...ghts_cross.htm

If you are talking about the Godet type, then not so...actually there were "heavy", "medium" and "light" Godet. The heavier ones were earlier.

war merit cross

it should be marked 935 4 if a true s&l, as i had one a few years back which was sold to a collector via bill shea. the pebbling behind the date and swaz is wrong. regards,,mike

Hello there,

I don't like this one.

I dont like the loop attachment, non-symmetrical (i.e. not in the vertical) and rough workmanship.

If you look at the swords I can see what look like telel tale cast marks (roughness and a line in the middle) or this could just be the photo.

Correct me if I am wrong but these were always die struk so there should never be a line?

Thanks to all who commented. It seems everyone agrees this award is a repro -- anyway here is one last picture to show the patina a little better

i would say repro,looks like one that came out of austria,as did a lot of other medals badges etc.
