Looks to be a fake, there is no feather detail at all on the reverse inside of eagle.

Thank You for the headsup Siegfried B

These were cast, rather than stamped. They have been around for at least several decades. It seems they have been pegged as fakes, but I'm not positive.

Thanks Grumpy. So there is a possibility it could be an original?
SSman

475/42 is an original maker widely faked. Look at how the prongs are attached on this original one - fakes are not attached in this fashion.

Crowback. Is this a picture of an original? If so it looks like the prongs on the one I listed are attached the same way?
SSman

To my knowledge, it is original. Go to Wehrmachtawards.com and search the Forum for 475/42.

100% original no doubt

Thanks for the info guys. Sent pics to a dealer and he also said it is a good one.
