Two IC 1st Class - one appears real.

I just received these two Iron Crosses from different sellers. I believe one is a fake, not sure about the other but think it is real. Anyone have an opinion? Thanks, John


P.S. - I have recently contributed to the WAF Forum an interesting thread on an “out of the woodwork” grouping I picked up. See the Tony Barto SS Uniforms and Insignia Forum.

Cross

Hi John the one on the left is a floch. The one on the right looks like a good Orth . Wait for others they might say different . Cliff

Hey John,

The cross on the left is a Floch Fake, and the one on the right remains a bit controversial, with supporters and detractors.

The Iron Cross on the right came as part of a shadow box that I just received today from the family of an old collector. All the other items appear real, including a near mint red wool armband with RZM tag.

I thank you both for helping me with these Iron Crosses. John
