G256.)3rd RCH DANZIG 25-YR LONG SERVICE CROSS: recently examined and approved by several of the hobby's experts...no question that it's genuine. As you know, we sell good quality copies (as fakes of course) and I cannot say that we have ever encountered a good quality reproduction of one of these. Any copies out there are kind of junky and readily identified as being old copies. This gem original is 45mm wide high quality silver alloy and handsomely toned with patina. Lovely piece. Reverse is marked at lower cross arm with maker 'M.ST.&S.'. Clean cornflower blue ribbon with typical German pin-back mounting. EXC++++
