Hey /b/ I just found this german cross from ww1. Anyone know anything about this? On the other side is written FW and 1813

It belonged to the most infamous German of recorded history, A. [spoiler]Merkel[/spoiler].

pretty good forgery
>>723255052
its worth a fair bit. i have one i got for 140. does it have that material bit from the top? that raises value
>>723255204
What do you mean by the material bit? I can post more pictures of it if you want
>>723255052
It's not a real one sorry, note how the loop for the pin is attached at the top of this example.
Pre-ww1 Example

the material bit attached to the loop, dont know the name. but i think its fake dude but hey just sell it to some skinhead fag they love that shit
>>723255643
Yeah maybe you're right. I'll probably wait a few years before selling it. I can get a better price even if it is a fake
I also found this but I don't think it could be of any value and a coin on which is written "sacre de napoleon 1er" it looks pretty recent.

Mit Eichenlaub, ohne Schwerter
FW is feuerwehr. It's a firefighter medallion probably with the brigade # or whatever

nice bait

1813 and FW refer to Friedrich Wilhelm. The monarch of Prussia. Hence the crown.

There are 3 ways you can tell if its real. The easiest is if a magnet sticks to it. Second way is to look at it from the side, you should be able to see if its made up of different layers of material (should be 3 layers but you can only really see 2). Third way is to get a piece of paper and see if you can get it under part of the on the inside of the cross (by the 1813, or the other side). You should be able to get the paper under at least one of the 4 corners there.
