Wat05 Posted November 24 Posted November 24 (edited) Greetings! I would like some advice on these medals which are currently for sale. I believe they are all original, however some seem of lower quality, as if they were made of cast metal. Is this normal for these medals? Here are the photographs, of 4 different Crosses. This one below possibly looks like silver, but I could be wrong. This one below in particular looks like a cast product, but it seems like an original. Lastly, Edited November 24 by Wat05 1

Lastly, All are Original Because they were made in big numbers and were meant mainly to enlisted men their quality is not as good as the officers ones. Only few make exceptions with their better quality They were mainly German made Follow the link above Click on the bold text 2

Welcome I forgot to tell you that those crosses with different quality were mainly made in Bulgaria Here is another one which is considered by some authors as the first ever made Soldier Cross Others believe that is Geman privately made by someone with deep pockets Whatever is said it is very good quality and unusual design Made from Silver and marked accordingly Cheers The same cross -part of an early medal bar
