In my Iron Cross I can get a sheet of paper between the black core and the silver frame and I can see a line between the two pieces of metal. The black seems totally black and I am not sure if it´s painted. It´s magnetic, but as you told in the comments not all was magnetic. In mine the hook of the pin is to the right side, but your first original was to the left, but the second original you showed is to the right as mine. Behind it is some marking like an S and then L59. I really hope mine is original. I hope you have time to tell how it can be. Thank you for this great video.

Hello there, really informative video thanks to that I've recently bought an iron cross myself. However, I'd like to ask a question since I'm sort of a loss over here. The one I bought only has visible lines between the corners of the cross and not on the ends, could polishing make the line less visible or could the one I bought be a repro?

You should do a video on all the fakes combat badges! I went to an Antique Store in Reno and Roseville California and this one dealer is selling a lot of german combat badges. I looked at them and I can't believe there real. I know that a Fallschirmjager badge is around $600, and a Flak Badge around $300. But he has them marked at $85 and $95. He has quite a few and when I asked the employee about them she told me "oh he knows he stuff and only sell real items." After I told her the real prices and that the pins on the badges were wrong and that they are fakes, she gave me a dirty look! So I took out a real Destroyer Badge and compared it. The differences were so apparent! She was floored!

''Tubby Hayman mysteriously disappeared his loss was just about to be reported to the Air Ministry when he was found unconscious jammed between the bulkead and side of the ship (MV Nevasa with 1.400 soldiers and airman on board ) At the time they were still flying the Westland Wapiti 11A there's a photo of one in the card and it says Risalpur NWFP so i''m thinking that there's only one Hayman on this Squ two it was sent by him back home 39 Squ got to Port Said on January 1929 then got to Karachi on the 19th then on to Drigh road airfield.It was the first story I'd ever read in Aeroplane or in any mag July 2011.The things I'd like to know if you can help me are were can I find out more about Hayman two any help in putting it on you tube i.e what to say about and how I can find out more Ta C.J from your biggest fan Andy also can send you photos of it some how then you can see it with your own eyes :-)
