Opinions on IC 2nd

[39inf]

I would very much like some opinions on the Iron Cross 2nd Class. Looks good to me but would like some from WAF members.. Also can anyone determine the manufacturer. There is a mark on the ring but I can't make it out. Maybe just a blemish.

Can you add photos of the reverse ...?

Thanks guys, it could have fool me. There are so many IC 2nds floating around
out there that you really have to study up on them. Thanks again, Terry

I appreciate your opinions, but how about statements as to why. Tell me why it is bad. Anyone can not like something but back up your statements.

Agreed, it's a fake. I wouldn't be surprised if it would be marked 333.
Well the best way to learn is to study the originals.
Some distinguishing featutres are the chipped "1" on the reverse date and on the lower arm some crossed beadings.

You'll find plenty of info of this fake by searching more in the forum.

Thanks Dansson, you are right. I'll just have to spend some time and study the originals. I will definitely spend time on Crosses of the Wehrmacht forum.
Thanks again, Terry
