Hi everyone! What do you think about this KC? Early Deschler?

I'm not an expert, but I think it may be a copy.

It has the correct "textbook" flaw on the swastika that you would expect on a genuine Deschler piece. Detail looks a bit soft but could just be well worn. Size and weight would be useful to confirm.

Gordon, I have not heard about the swastika flaw, I was just going by the three and the right arm (as looking at it)

What period is this strike?

[Gordon Williamson]

Original Deschler pieces usually have a small "spike" showing in the corner of the arm at 12 o'clock. Seems to be present on the one in this thread also.

Gordon, thank you for your opinion! The size is 59.9x53 mm, the weight is 33 g.

[Gordon Williamson]

The size is just right, and originals are known from 33-36gr in weight. So with correct weight and correct dimensions, plus the expected flaws, it suggests this is a good one.

So can we call it "early Deschler micro 900"?

900

[Gordon Williamson]

Yes, I'd say it looks like an early one. I have seen a small number of early Deschler pieces which don't have the "1" maker mark.

Nice to hear that! Gordon, thank you very much.

Those are my favorite medals. I really like it a lot. I am jealous.

Hello there,

I would like to voice my opinion. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with this cross, ZERO.

It is an awarded decoration that has developed great patina that could never be faked.
