    I have this 1849 2nd Class Military Merit Cross from Mecklenburg Schwerin. I do not see a huge amount of them around, this one has writing in lower caps and a ball suspension. Would love to get some opinions on it, thanks:

    Actually I have 2 original crosses in my collection, but also the bad guys reading world wide...

    At the moment the fakes are really so far away from a genuine one, because they do not know how it is looking in reality. And this is good for us collectors.

    Regards

    I agree with Frank.  The fakers put a lot effort to make this fake as clean as they could and I wouldn't want to educate them. 

    However, if there is minor "tell" that could be shared that would be helpful to the collector, but not the the faker; that would be informative.  I wouldn't want to pass on something truly valuable, only something that can be useful when visiting the tables at a show.

    Interesting and thank you, I'm sure your information is greatly appreciated, at least those interested in obtaining one have one item which can be used to eliminate those which are clearly not correct

    Regards
