Helpful hints on collecting WW1 German Iron Crosses

Elitemilitaria only sells original Medals: Some helpful information on collecting German Iron Crosses, all original German Iron Crosses are made of a 3 piece construction, meaning 2 Silver Frames with an Iron Centre Core wedged between two silver frames,  if you look side on, you should see a fine seam where the two frames meet and have been joined together. The centre core is a separate Iron Plate, to make sure, take a simple fridge magnet, and see if it sticks to the Iron Centre Core, then have a look at the Ribbon Suspension Ring using a magnifying glass, usually the WW1 German authorized manufacturer has stamped his name in the form of a few letters onto the ring, to identify the maker of a particular German Iron Cross, a list of German WW1 manufactures can be found on the internet.
