Troy Tempest Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Ok gents, I'm trying to put into practice what I've learnt lately about fake 1870 EKIIs, is this one a fake? I'm thinking about the under-over "8" and is the jump ring too low? Does it also have a new ribbon? Have I been paying attention? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motorhead Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 You are absolutely right-it's not only the"8" that gives this cross a red flag-it's also the 9th bead of the crown(9th bead fake).So nothing you want to spend your money for... Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Tempest Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 Thanks Micha, I tried to count the beads to see if was a ninth beader, but wasn't sure from the photo, but that was something else I was keeping an eye out for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streptile Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Thanks Micha, I tried to count the beads to see if was a ninth beader, but wasn't sure from the photo, but that was something else I was keeping an eye out for. Looks like a cast of a Ninth bead -- doubly fake! Troy -- it's not the number of beads, it's the fact that the ninth bead (counting from left to right) in the crown's headband is protuberant, as this one certainly is.
