My new TWM

[Deruelle]

Hello,

 

This nice TWM arrive today. I have looked at the Demir's book and compare with some posted here, it seems to be a very nice original cross. The patina is very old, the pin is small and not too long. So for the moment I don't see red alert

Of course I prefer having your opinion on it. Thanks

Lovely piece, Christophe. Nothing wrong with it imo.

Thanks Gerd

The medal looks OK but the pin might have been replaced, usually these types have broader pins.

I agree with Demir, the pin seems to be replaced. I focused so much on catch, hinge and obverse detail, that i didn´t even notice the pin.

Weitze has one atm with original pin, if you didn´t see that already.

best,

Gerd

Thanks,

I have a doubt about the pin. It seems to be a wartime replacement. For me the most important is that this cross is an original.
