Please evaluate my EK crosses

EK1 cross definitely a well known reproduction. You can encounter it also with other marks or without a mark.
From my point of view is the box also a reproduction.

I will be having a chat with the guy who sold me this a few years ago as original. You guys seem unanimous in condemning my iron cross 1st class.
I'll be removing it from my collection stante pede

Cheers

The second class is marked 122 as far as I can make out.

Possible ?

Hi Deadshead,

Would it be possible for you to post more pictures of your case on the cases and packets forum please?

In particular a photo of the top of the case and the material seperating the base of the case from the top.

A close up of the metal catch would help too.

Thanks,

Allan

I think the case is OK!. Its 621KB and i do see the brown glue. The Ek1 is a fake as you know now. The ek2 has a maker mark and i do feel that it´s a geniun Ek2. One way to test the case is whit blue light. Ps the glue in a orginal case glow in a special way.

I posted the case pics on the cases forum. Took as close as I could , my sony p72 doesn't deal well with close-ups.
