DKiG Juncker - I'm not convinced

[mloppkit]

Hello everyone,
I don't care if they say it has provenance, and if a price tag of 4700USD means it's authentic, I'm not a fan of this cross, please correct me if i'm wrong but I thought the Juncker has a large center rivet and a catch plate??????

It is a fake.

Indeed - a paperweight. A very ex pensive one but a paperweight nonetheless...

The swaz looks to be rotated slightly clockwise. I nice filler for $100

The Sturmgeshutz Abt refers to a vehicle (StuG III) and I'll bet that if someone was setting up a fake they'd have checked that this person actually received one of these, setting up all the information needed to "sell" it as a real DK. I would have thought that STuG Abt would have been more appropriate, but in any case the inscription doesn't help the cross.

There was a Hstuf. Rettlinger. But he got his cross on 20. December 1943.

Far more telling is the missing "¨" on "Sturmgeschütz". Would not happen to a German engraver, a lot of english or american fakers still have not realized that this is part of the letter and not mosquito dung. Same with "Sch"! Just because it doesn't sound good, it is no reason to change it to "Sh" lke in "Shinkle"
