Found out mine was real today!

hey everybody, another thing to look for on authentic german crosses is that the swastika seems to "rest" on the corners, a lot of latvian junk (reproducctions) were the swastika sits have gaps big enought to drve a bus truh

im a little confused about my iron cross, the middle is magnetic and the ring has a stamp (looks like a 2 and a cross but id have to get a magnifying glass). but i cant see a seam :(

[evilyakko]

@evilyakko The cross also rattles in the frame but without the seam i convince myself its fake.

[evilyakko]

@evilyakko ohh nvm i fudn the sea at te top near te loop where its too tight to polish LOL

I Love this medal!!! Such a beautiful medal!

Iron cross cores were also made from brass and zinc, so the magnet test will not work on these crosses.

@TRcollector

i heard that if you try to attract it with a magnet center must be magnetic.

[TRcollector]

@ivan3653 If the magnet sticks of course the core is magnetic, but nonmagnetic cores don't necessarily mean the cross is bad, many good crosses have nonmagnetic cores

@TRcollector should there be anything on the other side of this medal?

[TRcollector]

@infernogamers There should be 1813 on the bottom of the reverse

[infernogamers]

@TRcollector thank god i got a real one then i thought for a second it could have been fake becaquse it only had 1813 on the back!
