Iron Cross 2nd Class Original or Fake?

[popskipa]

A mounted group of three medals, in my opinion the War Merit Cross and 1914-18 Honour Cross are original but I am unsure about the Iron Cross and would welcome the help of the forum.

The 1914 Iron Cross is non-magnetic and is made in one piece. Not the usual iron core mounted in a silvered frame.

I am grateful for your help and thank you for looking,

Very nice and rare EK II 1914 from an unknown maker. It looks like a Otto Schickle but it isn´t. It is the same variation as a Schickle, one piece, non magnetic, but with a different core and frame. Never the less, very rare and original cross

Is the EK a medal issued during the 1914-18 war, private purchase, or post 1918 please?

Thank you, Keith
