German Cross in Gold " Help Please"

[spitfire-01]

Hi All,

I have a German Cross in Gold that I am looking at howver I suspect the rear pin if order is original could the pin have been replaced after WWII.
Assembled in Austrian 6 rivet style,

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Seems to be a heavy Godet (not Austrian made, Berlin made!) with a ver ugly replacement pin.

Thank you Dietrich for your expert advise. Is there a better photo I could supply to assist confirmation, should the swastika be offline with the N,S,E & W quadrant lines?

Maybe just a closer scan of the obverse and the date shield. Bit I am fairly sure.
