Kriegsverdienstkreuzes o.s (E. Ferd. Wiedmann)

[Fred Perry]

Dear friends, tell me the material from which these crosses are made.

№ 1) Is zinc or buntmetall in poor condition?
№ 2) Is buntmetall?

[Jean-Claude]

Hi Fred

Wait for other opinions but to me,#1 is a zinker with the bronze finish partially absorbed by the zink and # 2 is a nice tombac piece

Yes, No 1 of zinc, No 2 Buntmetall. Same "19" were with swords (zincer has a massiver loop).
