Solution Mr.Jerry Posted September 12, 2022 Solution Share #2 Posted September 12, 2022 looks good from here. In hand I like to see the "seam" and be able to see "under" the frame, to be sure it is 3 piece construction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.ChrisKelly Posted April 28, 2023 Share #3 Posted April 28, 2023 Really good looking 1939 Iron Cross 2nd Class. I think it's genuine. Indicators... the black paint looks good. That paint contains lead, and it gets a "sheen" or "patina" when it's been exposed to air for extended periods. The tarnish on the outside frame makes it look like a mid-to-late war piece. If you can, check the suspension ring for a hallmark. The absence of a hallmark on the suspension ring doesn't mean it's fake. Also... the litmus test... the center should be magnetic. Iron Crosses are made from iron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
