Wood Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I'm not an expert, but I think it may be a copy. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Williamson Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wood Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 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? Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Williamson Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Williamson Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stukapilot Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 So can we call it "early Deschler micro 900"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Williamson Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Those are my favorite medals. I really like it a lot. I am jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all1knew Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 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. William Kramer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
