    Interesting Cloth German Cross

    A seller was offering this cloth DK at the show in Nashville yesterday.

    No real concerns with the obverse view, but there is certainly an interesting stamping on the reverse!

    I had not seen one marked this way until yesterday.

    Sorry about the photos as they are not the best. I was using my iPhone in a poorly lit conference hall.

    Thoughts?

      The mark on the back could be for Friedrich Linden
      of Ludenscheid. I don,t know if they were a
      recognized maker of this award, just a thought

        I have never seen this maker mark before on DKiG, but the cross looks original.
        I think Herr Maerz will help you.

          I am not 100% convinced yet that the piece is real. The thread used to make the gray area of the star is soft and a bit fuzzy, unlike the normal type of thread used in this area. I have seen several of these in the last couple of years and, although I can't prove it, they have always scared me away. Here is a photo of a real one recently posted which may illustrate the thread I personally prefer to see:

                My belly says me: "Not good!"

                Why the 43(i hope i read it right) an why is one "L" not correct?
                The cross might be good ( better pics), but the marker mark is more than dubios.

                Iam nosily about Dietrichs oppinion.

                  The FLL pabs are marked "FLL43".
                  I wonder if FLL ever made these type of products (cloth).

                    No expert by all means on these but the cloth red piping and black of the swaz is not of the quality I would expect to see on these?

                      i too have never come across one of these with this makers stamp on it & IMHO i think it lacks the usual quality of these IMO Superb badges .

                        This is an explanation for the 43.

                            The cross is good, no doubt in my mind. However, I am not so sure that it is a maker mark. It could be some shop stamp.
