Picked this up yesterday but know little about them. I was wondering if it is genuine piece? Looks fine to me, just that the front has been cleaned up by a prior owner.

Looks like a original with wear to the detail. Here is the only one in my collection. -

I agree with Kirby: I believe it's good, having quite a bit of wear to the highlights. Congratulations on your nice find!
Like Kirby, I have only one of these in my collection as well. Here's a link to it on a previous posting under the Imperial German section: http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=558426
My example has wear to the highlights as well.
All the Best,

Thanks gentlemen! The seller had no idea what it was, saying it was from between the wars. He dropped the price to $80, so I figured I would take the chance. Looks like I made a good choice, so thanks again!Comment

$80 is a steal. I was watching one of these on eBay about a year ago and I think it went for close to $300.Comment
