There is an Otto Klein 134 marked DKiG on eBay and looks original but the back looks like it is cast and the C catch and hinge looks like thye have been reset...esp the hinge which has some "burn" marks from soldering it looks like.

Original cross to me. Catch and hinge repaired for sure. The number 134 is not the typical number we can see, but that do not means it is a “fake” cross. The back looks okay to me. I need better pictures of the swastika and the wreath.

Lots of bids!
I have the highest bid! £750 ))))

I have to agree with Ricardo that the maker mark (134) seems to use a different type font and the hinge plate looks a bit small/loose for the identation in the back plate when I compare it to mine but I havent seen enough of these to know wether these differences are significant or not

Best regards

I heard you have to be very careful with Otto Klein because good copies of this maker exist?

In my opinion not original. Maker used another design for the number on the backside.

I pulled out , I’m not interested in this piece!

I was watching it too, but not going to bid. For reasons already stated by other members, I wouldn't be 100% comfortable with it.


Somebody thinks it's real based on the bidding.
