Iron Cross Second Class W/ Bags Is It Real ?

[manayunkman]

I just picked this up in the past week or so.

The arms are not as wide as most ICII's.

Also I have never seen a little tab on the top of a cross for the suspension ring.

Both bags were with it but it was in the smaller bag.

No markings.

Appreciate any help.

The larger packet is a well known fake.

As Darell said packet is fake but other is good - IMO Schenkl and EKi is niec Meybauer Schnkel

Some makers' frames have the small tab for soldering the ring to. That's a nice cross

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

I was suspect of the blue bag but wasn't sure.

Is the maker Schinkel ?

[plaut]

No, marker is Meybauer but this is very early Ek 1939 in 1914 frame. That version is called Schinkel form

Thank you Plaut.

I understand now why this cross looked different.

I am exited to have found it.
