Wouldn't it be nice

[Bobki52]

The person from whom I bought this vetted it, but now it's my turn to check it out. This cross wieghs 37.2 grams and measures 49.5 mm across. It looks good in my hands, solid and tight, but that only accounts for so much. What do yo guys think?

I think you would get more replies in another section -- maybe Political Organizations?

Good luck -- but I think this one is a repro, unfortunately.

Definitely a reproduction--eagle details are uneven, eagles' heads are the wrong shape, swastikas are not sharp enough, fit of gold obverse arm trim is poor, center party badge has the wrong features, age is artificially simulated, etc.
I hope you didn't pay too much for it!

Thanks

Guys,

Thank you very much. Andreas Dorn, from Helmut Weitze, also sent me high-res JPGs of their excellent Deutscher Orden Kreuz 3. Klasse. Like your piece, Stan, it is beautiful. Andreas and Helmut agree with all of you. Bad piece. Thanks again for the details, Erich. This is exactly what I need in order to return this item.

If you deliver such a badge in the Third Reich period you could have severe problems and recieve a one way ticket to "Disney World".
