Hello Guys. Never had to many of these so could I have some opinions on the WW1 vaulted IC 1st class? Good sign is it has a magnetic core. Looks to be marked 800 under the C catch. Here is a picture of the front.

I have never seen a pin like that on a real EK before.

Dond. Does that mean that this cross could possibly be a fake from Latvia or one of the other eastern block countries? Does the rest look OK to you? Like I said I have not had many of these so I don't really know what to look for!

Probably Polish IMO.

It has been confirmed that this cross is a fake from a new batch of crosses coming from Latvia. Sad that they even fake the ipmerial items.
