Is it real and can you identify the maker? The cross's core is magnetic.

But it's not a cross of the Wehrmacht.

Hello Don
I don't understand what means that, can you explain it better ?
In my opinion it 's an early L/11 just unmarked because pre LDO list (1940-41 production).

It is an imperial cross

[fdodge]

Thank you gentlemen. And I think Don is correct (again), it is an Imperial cross. There was a like cross pulled from the e-stand and posted on this forum for discussion.
I'll post other Imperial crosses on the Imperial discussion forums. I hope they get the attention there by you ek guys.
This one's off to the e-stand.
Best regards,
Frank

I've been asked what period this particular cross was manufactured. There seems to be a conflict here.
If it helps, there is a little bit of copper showing through the paint of the core (at the crown).

Hi Frank,

In my opinion it is from the 1930s.

Hi Frank,

In my opinion it is from the 1930s.

yes, or maybe later, because there are nazi Schinkel EKIs with same back set-up.
