List of originals

You could pm Jim(CMSgt) and see if he would email his List of Spange makers and variations with photos. It’s been very helpful. You could purchase Dietrich’s book on Iron Cross 1st Classes. Absolute necessity to have if you are going to collect these things. Also, as I’ve heard before from the above mentioned. Take the time to learn the original ones and their unique features and qualities. Good words to collect by for sure. By doing so, fakes are far easier to spot.
