2 German EK1's 65 and 20 marked- w/ spangs- original?

[Discostu]

Hello,

I was recently offered a large collection of German items- unfortunately, the seller had bought from several disreputable people and the majority of German items were fakes. These are some of the last items of his collection I will be posting, in hopes these are original.

I have a feeling the crosses are ok, but what about the spangs?

Many thanks as always!

The Screwback EK1 is a fake - sorry

[Discostu]

Thanks and no worries, not a problem since I didn't buy them - any ideas of the rest of the items?

Hey Guys,

are the two spangs and the non-vaulted iron cross fake? I assume if one is proven fake the others don't have much of a chance

I agree with Jon, the small one looks like a Deumer L/11, and the other is a fake. Jim

Ok, so one is original, thats some good news

And both iron crosses are fake correct? Or is the 65 marked one ok?

Thanks!

The '65' EKI is original.

I agree, but you may want to ask questions about the pin on the hinge. Looks like it's sticking out a bit for some reason.

Hello there,

I think the 2nd class Spange is a good Deumer and the "65" marked EK_1 is a good EK_1

The screwback and 1st class spanges are reproductions in my opinion.

The pin can be pushed back in. I've had more than one cross where the pin was beginning to migrate out...

It looks like it's already sticking out on the other side...
