Hi,
Your question is VERY broad!! I'm sorry, but there is no easy answer.
3-peice construction with a steel (magnetic) core is always a good start. After that, if your example is marked on the ring, you will need to compare it to a known original from the SAME maker.
Buying a good reference book would be a good start - these days a book like Gordon Williamson's "The Iron Cross of 1939" or Stephen Previtera's "The Iron Time - A History of the Iron Cross" can be bought for less than the cost of a genuine 1939 EK2. This way you will also learn about the different vairants.
Post pictures on this forum and you'll get the best response as to whether a cross may be genuine or fake.
Good luck!
