Military Medal Iron Cross Medal WW1 German Military Medal | 2nd Class 1914-1918 , Awards Medals , Army Medals , War Medals New Copy

Very good reproduction of the "Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse" (or EK II--Iron Cross 2nd Class ). The Iron Cross 2nd class has the same dimensions as the 1st Class, and has the same obverse feature, except that since the 1st class is a breast badge, the reverse side of it is a solid silvered metal plate with just the attachment mechanism.This reproduction is 43mm X 43mm (the real genuine 1st and 2nd classes are identically 44mm X 44mm...which this reviewer both have in his collection) as measured by a digitally precise Vernier scale. Another reason for the rating is, the real core of any genuine Iron Cross, as befits all Iron Crosses, including the "Ritterkreuz" (Knight's Cross) and the Stern zum Großkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes (Grand Cross of the Iron Cross) are that their cores are all made of Iron, and therefore will attract any ordinary magnet. This repro. is made of some kind of plastic molded material in the black center core area while the "silvered" edges are made of alloy zinc. The ribbon has the exact color pattern as the ones issued during the First World War. The back pin at the top of the ribbon is made of stainless steel, and is the only part which can attract magnetic materials. It could as well be made of heavier duty metal of brass alloy zinc or Tombak material.I am still longing for a reproduction with all the correct refinements, but this one is very good at its price level, and I will rate it 4 stars.
