War Merit Cross First Class

[Ryan Stalker]

Greetings:

I’m a new member to the forum and collecting in general.

I bought this award as one of the first in my collection, and am by no means an expert on it. It looks good to me; the hinge especially does but I am welcoming all opinions if I can accept this to my known examples or if it is fake. As I said, the hinge and reverse look clean, but the swords perhaps lack detail.

Thank you all for your help and opinions.

Best,

Ryan

Welcome to the forum Ryan. Your cross is a good example by Deschler & Sohn. I highly recommend that you pay the $35 and become a Association Member. It will be money well spent if you continue to collect TR items. As it is now your pics will soon disappear and the thread will become useless to anyone wishing to view this thread. Again, welcome and may your stay here be enjoyable and more so educational.
