I would just like to confirm that this is an original "Lazy 2" Knights Cross from the firm C.E. Juncker, Berlin. To me, it appears to be a textbook piece complete with an authentic (25 thread count) wartime ribbon. The suspension loop, though original, appears to be a period replacement and not of the Juncker variety, any thoughts on this? In my opinion, this is a perfectly fine cross without any issues and of the type awarded and presented in the field, rather than private purchase.
