War Cross - fake or not?

[hauptmannraynor]

Hello again everyone! A friend brought these to me and I have no idea about decorations like these and would appreciate if you all would have a look!

Both original. The KVK with Swords is a late war zinc type. Check the ribbon suspension ring and you might find a makers number.

I agree, both very nice originals ! And yes, see if the ribbon rings are marked with a number. Tom

Thanks everyone for looking them over! I found a small number 56 stamped on the ring of the Eastern Front medal, but found nothing on the War Cross other than some imperfections in the metal - nothing resembling a makers mark - I suppose this could be a replacement ring or late war expedient?

unmarked is very common, all look 100% right.

56 = Robert Hauschild of Pforzheim.

As others have said, both are originals. -Ger
