Real war merit cross?

[cabbell2207]

Hello all, i am in need of some help.i just purchased this medal group and was wondering if the war merit medal was real? Its marked 10 on the. Ring .i've noticed many file marks around the edges and even small die cracks on the face that can only be seen with a loupe.Thank you

Interesting,after some searching i found other pieces made by the same manufacturer with similar die flaws.

It looks to be a very nice early example by the maker Förster & Barth- Pforzheim.

The medals both look fine, but there should be an eagle device on the blue service ribbon.

I've got a 25 Year Civil Service Medal with an eagle attached to it, I'm sure we could work out a deal on it if you're needing that device.

PS - Nice looking two place bar!
