Dear Lillegutt,

Yes, it seems to be ok, but given the fact that it came with two other high end fakes, you might look into one thing some more:

-it seems strange that the swaz and date show much wear but the frame and back have no patina at all, only some odd looking spots.

Maybe I am a bit too suspicious now, because if you wouldn´t have mentioned the context it came in, I would have said it looks perfect. One can never be too cautious though.

Cheers, Frank H.

Looks like the one I have. I'd differ on the cross not having any patina. Look closely at the where the flange meets the beading...looks like honest age to me.

Hello Lillegutt

EK and disc appear alright to me also, the wear and overall condition of the award show honest age. However I would have some reservations about buying from someone who bit me more than once.


Regards

Hallo Collector !
I agry , but I buy all 3 items together , and it is first time I have get items that have bin copies from this dealer . EK 1 and EK 2 spange is from an other Dealer in Norway .
PS! We have only 3 dealers of Third Reich Militaria in Norway . And I have never NEVER had problems with geting my money back or a other item as exchange from them if I say the item is a copy .
( Nr: 3 of them , stop sending my their catalog after I returned an Panzerbadge in bronze with AS maker mark in center of back and with flat back . Perhaps he did`t like that I found a copy among his items ? ) .

As you can probably tell, the cross looks very much like the ones showed in that thread. I think you're ok with it.
