Waffen SS Schalburg cross

[Xtender]

Hello,

a colleague asked me if I could ask here, if anyone has additional information about this decoration.

Is it Schalburg cross II. class (much rarer as cross I. class), with diameter 45mm, weight 9,6gr.

Thanks, Xt.

Xtender,

It does not look very well made are these two seperate medals or has he changed the suspension loop? What ever it is trying to be just from the materials and quality of finish I would say it is a copy. Looks like the stuff that the Polish sell at the fleemarkets.

Xtender, this is a fake, there were no 2nd class, you'll find a painted zink issue for enlisted men and a enamelled bronze one for officers. None were worn from a ribbon, both had a short needle on the reverse.
