Mother's Cross

[ww2germanhelmet]

Good afternoon fellows. I recently picked up this Mother's Cross. I am not sure if it is bronze or silver. Looks possibly bronze with most of the finish missing. The inscription is slightly different than what I have seen. I don't typically collect these so my knowledge is fairly weak on these. Any thoughts on this one would be appreciated.
Cheers! Dave

Sorry to bring the bad news, but this is a very bad fake cross.

Dont need to say more Jabnus is spot one fake cross.

Funny thing is that the fake one's are harder to find then the original one's

These things are so inexpensive, I can't hardly believe that they too are being faked....where does it end! Thanks much! Dave

History of this ugly thing : it is the exact fake with the too-wide fake ribbon as used to be sold in the 1970's / 1980's by Delta International of Lafayette, CA, & is in their old catalogs.

The front looks nice at first sight but the inscription on the back is very bad

[Silesien]

It doesn't look nice at all; it looks stupid. The swastika disc is off-cant ( crooked ), & the white enamel portions of the arms are way too wide.

I think a fake too.

Selisen, i agree. But i mean, if youre a new collector, or not a award collector, will look the front not as a very ugly fake.
