Real or Fake: World War One Iron Cross Second Class

[Kellys_Irish_Brigade]

Hello, I am a new member and have received an Iron Cross 2nd class for Christmas. I was told by the store owner that he does not sell reproductions. It looks like an original to me but I don’t know much about these items and would like a second opinion. I’ve identified the makers stamp as a Alfred Rosen? Anyway I hope you guys can help.

Looks like the real thing to me.

Three piece with an iron core? From your pictures it looks good.

Looks good to me also, that ribbon shows age.

That’s the real thing, I have my grand father’s in my office if you’d like me to post a picture. His is a little different, it’s second class and is marked 1914, given as a unit citation while he was in the horse drawn artillery. It does have the same ribbon.
