1939 spange opinions please

[HunterSS]

Hi guys, opinions on this appreciated. Also in "The Iron Cross" by Williamsom does he cover these in any detail as well as the EKs? I plan on getting reference materials for myself as a Christmas present to me. Hey, if I don't deserve it then.......

That's a repro.

[George Stimson]

I thought that the consensus on these was that they were good Spangen by an unknown manufacturer.

Sorry George.
From the picture that looks like a repro to me.....the wings, head etc. look cast.
But I could be wrong here........it has been known before. Perhaps it's just the photo.

It is my belief these are originals. Here are nice examples of it with better pics. From Robert Pierce:
