Wehrmacht long service award for 25 years, is it original one or just a fake?
Non magnetic.

Thanks!

Do not like it myself.

Lack of details, and colour not right, as well it looks like I can see some casting blobs and divots, marks.

A side on view would help.

The stippling looks a bit coarse, should be finer imo

Please post a shot of the inside of the arms.

What is the maker mark?

Kind regards

Have to agree. At first glance looks cast.

The size of the jump ring leads me to believe that it is non magnetic.

More pictures are needed especially the inner arms.

I've compared this cross to the ones that I own.

The more I look the more I like it.

Photo's tend to magnify any small detail like dents and bruises the cross has suffered over the years.

As far as the stippling goes under normal conditions of viewing it looks just fine in most cases. Once you start to magnify it it appears as if there are great gaps in the stippling where there really isn't.

I'll reserve a definite thumbs up until I see the inner arms of the cross.

As to the makers mark I would like to know what it is.

The photos are not clear on this.

Might have been added later by someone to increase the value.

I don't know for sure.

I now think it's a good cross.

As for the makers mark I don't know.

What is the mark? It's still hard to tell. Is it numerical or alpha?

I too think it's an original cross. I note the ring itself is split. Would be interesting to find out the maker.

Kind regards
