Opinions on "Deschler" DKiG

[Tom Yanacek]

Hello to all,

One of our members (vernon) asked me to post these images for him so that he could get opinions on this German Cross in Gold. I have already given my opinion but he would like to get other opinions as well.

Thank you & best regards,
Tom

For sure not a Deschler! A fake IMHO.

Very crude and IMHO I agree with Dietrich

Tom, can you post better and closer pics of the date shield?

I am far from being an expert and you guys know much better then me but whats wrong with the rivets? Scary if fake how the fakers improve their skills.

Deschler never used this type of wreath or hollow rivets.

Thank you!

My thanks to all that responded. I completely agree with the opinions expressed here and I had previously advised vernon it was not original.

Best regards,
Tom

Hello,

Sorry, but I don't have any other pictures. The pictures posted are the only ones that Vernon emailed to me.

Best regards,
Tom
