Social welfare cross (Volkspflege kreuz)

[Mike75]

Hi gents,
this`s not my cup of tea and i need your thoughts in this case

IMO...enamel work doesn't look up to standard,has no finish of gold ) ... look and see if there is any epoxy between the eagle and cross..(or tell tale signs it has been picked off or scratched off )when they started faking these they glued lots of those on with epoxy...can't say for sure...from the photos, but I'm leaning away from it being good from what I see.

Sorry Mike,
juoneen is correct, this is known as a fake and sometimes has fake L/21 on the Pin as well. Best to keep clear of social welfare crosses like this that have an "eye" on the bird- compare to this good one - note- no"eye"
Best Regards,
Michael
