I was hoping to confirm some of my ww2 German medals before I start to sell some of them off. The Merit Cross really looks suspicious to me. Thank you for looking.

Merit cross

The Iron Cross Second Class 1939 looks genuine.  I don't know if there is a hallmark on the suspension ring, but I think it's an authentic, three ~ piece manufactured, excellent specimen.  Ribbon looks genuine as well.

 

The Iron Cross First Class 1939 is a one ~ piece manufactured reproduction.  There is a crude attempt at a numeric hallmark, "147"{?} on the pin. There is no "147" hallmark, to my knowledge, on genuine specimens. Likely, that number is a fantasy. It is a very high ~ end, "museum quality" reproduction, though.

 

The War Merit Cross Second Class with Swords looks genuine, wartime solid zinc with tombak plating.  I think the suspension ring is original to the medal, and if the hallmark is indeed "18", that's Karl Wurster KG of Markneukirchen.  Outstanding authentic example.  I think the ribbon may be genuine as well.

I bought the first class from a forum member years ago so I thought that one was safe. That’s a bit of a disappointment. Thank you
