How to tell if a Iron Cross 1st and 2nd Class is Real or Fake?

[Brady96]

Hello, does anyone have an opinion on the authenticity of this Iron Cross?

It's a 1st class Rudolf Souval.

I think I would leave that one.

The swastika's edges look dull which is not a good sign.

All:

I just finished reading all the posts, what a great exchange between everyone. A big 'THANK YOU' to to Kenny Andrew, Fritz, Gildwiller1918, Eddieq, Urkund1939, Ycvu, and Phantom for sharing their knowledge with others. The ones asking the questions and the ones providing the answers make the Forum great.

Best regards, John R.
