JFarr29 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Hello i have come across an iron x 2nd class that I thought looked okay - and reasonably priced. However, the ring is stamped 84 and according to what background I can find on the EKII Carl Polleath didnt make the iron cross. Unusual to fake this though but I cannot thing what else the ring may be from if its a put together Has anyone seen anything like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackcowboyBS Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 yes, because if it is a modern ribbon, it would also tell us, that not only the cross is a fake but the ribbon also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graf Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 without seeing the ribbon we can only speculate Sometimes the sellers get an original ribbon to claim that the cross is an original ..or "age' the ribbon with dirt or other means Any way the question was about the cross and it is , in my opinion , 100% fake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
