Deutsches Kreuz in Gold 1941. Golden grade of the German cross. Steinhauer

Deutsches Kreuz in Gold 1941. Golden grade of the German cross made by Steinhauer und Lück. Near mint condition. Among collectors there is an opinion that most of these awards are a post-war assembled from original parts made during the war.  But at the same time there are also a number of collectors and reference books who stated that this opinion is wrong.  No any document was found indicating the historical authenticity of these circumstances.    That story makes these awards from  Steinhauer & Lück much more cheaper than from others producers. Good chance to get original German Cross for real reasonable money.
