Dear 浩源 王,

Thank you for the additional help and your patience.

Iron Crosses are made partially of silver and German silver is stamped with a mark indicating the silver purity. Usually, this stamp is 800. I can not see anywhere such a stamp which indicates that this is not an original Iron Cross.

I am very sorry for this bad news.

With kind regards,
Georg
