Hey there guys, I was looking for some opinions on this piece. I understand that original award pieces are made from silvered iron, are magnetic and have flat prongs that fold towards the middle. This one I am not sure of the material but it is not magnetic and has round prongs that fold towards the middle. Is this a later model private purchase wearers copy or a complete fake? Please feel free to post other examples.

Hello Everyone, I am looking for some information on the Vor Dem Feinde Spange. Are these are these typically magnetic? Do period made pieces have a loop the ribbon is threaded through as oposed to prongs? The ones with 2 prongs, should these be flat or round? and are these of a later manafacure 20s/30s TR? Thanks Alan

Firstly I have taken a pic of the Austrian Iron Crown device
