Hi, Can anybody please help me? I believe this to be a German 12 year long service cross, I have checked all of the dimensions and it apears to be genuine, I know that there are a lot of copies and fakes, it came with three other awards, can anybody give me their opinion as to authenticity? Cheers, Andy.
You may also want to post your query in this section www.ww2f.com/forums/medals-insignia-badges-recalls You will be more likely to get additional responses than you will in the General Discussion section.
It looks genuine to me too, but don't take it for granted because many good fakes were made. Ask for extra confirmation. There is not much left of the silvering. Of course a cased version with ribbon and hand woven runes are hard too find, so you can be happy with this current version.
Thanks all for the help, I have posted on the other thread as suggested, alng with the three others that I pcked up at the same time. Thanks, andy
