Authentic Looking Iron Cross First Class? (WW1)

Hi Everyone!

Does this Iron Cross first class (WW1) look authentic to you?  It has a manufacturing stamp of KO at the back as well.

Thanks,

Hi Evan, the beading looks a bit strange , could you post a picture of the reverse please

That looks like a real silver example, lots of wear and age patina.  KO is one of the most commonly found markings on these. KO is said to be Klein & Quenzer in Idar-Oberstein. Others state this as "Königliche Ordenskanzlei", which I think is less likely.

Thank you Fritz and Kenny.  I have just begun collecting and want to make sure what I purchase is authentic.  Thank you again for your help.
