Iron Cross Spange - Is this another Raptor Fake?

[tmca05]

After searching the trends, I feel that this Iron Cross 1st class Spange is a "Raptor" fake.
Before I write it off as "fake" I'd like to get a few other opinions, just "in-case" I'm wrong and it turns out to be a good Otto Schickle or something else nice.

Thanks again, Dave

The Raptor and the Schickle are extremely close in design, but this one is unfortunately a Raptor.

Here is the Schickle:

Thanks for the info, I was afraid of that.

I noticed that the back of your Schickle looks as if it was turned on a lathe machine. There are concentric rings, spanning out from the center of the swastika on the reverse side. I wonder if that is a common trait on some Schickles ? I’ll have to scan the forums at look at others.

I never paid attention to the back but both of mine - pin and screw back, have the circles. Jim
