    Iron Cross

    Hello Everyone,
    This is my first post. I have a iron cross 1st class I am thinking of selling. A company in america thinks it is authentic but need to examine it. He has valued it at about $400 if authentic. I have attached a few pics. Any info will be greatful. The makers mark is 51 made by Eduard Gorlach & Sohn, Gablonz. I know th box is wrong, its just what it came in.
    Thanks for your help
    Steve

      Hi Steve,

      Unfortunately this one is a very well-known recent fake.

      Welcome to the forum There is a lot of good information here, and lots of people to help weed out the bad ones and identify the good ones.
      Best regards,

        Hi Steve, and welcome to the forum.

        I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but your cross is a well known fake.
        It appears to be a single piece constuction. I believe that these copies originate in Poland. '51' is not a known maker of EK's.

        Have a look around the forum and you will see many original EK1's and you will see the difference.

        Regards - Danny

        EDIT: Looks llike the other guys can type a lot faster than me!

            Hi Steve.

            Don't let this knock you out. Soon you will be able to tell the good crosses from the bad, and there are always a lot of collectors to help you here. You can really learn a lot from this forum.

            I have been collection the EK's seriously for about 2 years now, and I have really learned a lot.
