Kev in Deva Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Hallo Chaps, any ideas? I find the name stamped to the lower arm rear and the pin stamping to seem very modern for a 1870 piece?Seller is claiming it to be an old copy (as in replacement) piece.If a fake any idea when they were first encountered??Kevin in Deva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schießplatzmeister Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Hello Kevin:Thanks for posting this item. It is without a doubt a modern creation. My guess is that it was made within the last ten (10) years or so. This is a modern forgery meant to deceive collectors. Fortunately, some very key details are lacking to make it resemble an original. Beware, there are VERY good copies out there that have been accepted as originals in some highly acclaimed recent publications.Caveat Emptor!Best regards,"SPM" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roeland Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I have a quick question, looking at the pictures the core is attached to the cross itself and not a separate part from the silver cross halves.Therefore i would like to know, since I never had a first class myself, but want to buy one:Do they exist from multiple part like a 2nd class one?kind regards,RoelandP.S. sorry for going off topic.
