ek 1939 Is this Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse 1939, unmarked real or fake. Tests Positive

[MakaMaleko]

Hello all, im sure this item of mine might be dismissed as a fake due to how it looks and that may be the case but it tests positive for 90% to 100% for silver.

has anyone ever seen a fake EK that tests positive for silver? 

 

in one or two of the latter pics you will see 3 dots of silver acid on left and 3 dots of 18k acid on right.

the entire back of the EK is 90 to 100% silver. I took a jewlers pick and took a piece of silver off and tested it. it's high-grade silver. who what how and why is my question. the ek looks very subpar compared to others I have seen. this makes no sense.

Ignore cross on left.

thank you for that statement. would you know why real silver would be used on a cast copy?

It is 100%  fake  I wander i they bother to put silver coat on the back  Keep away from those very crude and very low quality items

Do some research and reading before you buy them It will save you $$$$

 

Cheers
