    Mothers Cross 1st Model?

    These scans from a friend (sorry, this is the clearest I can make his scans). Any opinions?

    Thanks,
    Greg

    I have never seen a real one of these (or a fake for that matter), but I have two misgivings about this one:

    The ribbon is a wider type that I have seen on fake Mothers Crosses (though of course it could have been replaced).

    The lettering of the 1st model inscription on the back is slightly different from the example shown in Detlev's guide.

    Thanks for any opinions,
    Greg

      Kai has one for sale on his site ... the reverse pic is not too good ... 2800 Euros !! They are not cheap ....

      The one thing that is different between these two is that the name Adolf Hitler is higher up on the back of Kai's example. On the one you posted it appears squashed and run off the bottom ....
