Hi Uwe, Thank you for showing the boxes for the classes from 1st to 5th in a nice display You might have started with this display and we can compliment with with our dispose. I hope my contribution helped with your mission I never paid attention about the different prints and makers marks I only noticed that some of the boxes had dark print like my 4th Class. i do not think that they are copies I also do not know were to classify my 5th Class by Rothe I will try to look more in details the prints and the marks in order to support your statement, although i trust you with your findings Here i will try to rotate some of the photos with the print and the maker mark inside Not all low classes boxes were maker marked Like the V-th Class box

I wonder whether was sold ..or it will be featured again in the next sale. I suspect that some of the items are not available at all and are used to attract bidders for the available items There is no more transparency in many of the now days Actions/Sales, because most of them are online I suspect the buyers are bidding against set price by the sellers not against the other bidders and if not reached the item is not sold

Hi SteveBobby Unless Crosses 2nd and 3rd Class with 5 clovers pop up We can accept for the moment that they are made only with 4 clovers as Ilieff stated and other members agreed Cheers

Welcome to the Forum,

Exactly

Welcome

Hi Ilieff, I share your concern, however the fakers can use other sources to do their sinister work. Few years ago when i started the topic about the fake Bulgarian Orders and decorations, I did think that this would be a good way to protect he collectors from those fakers. However, I was also aware that those fakers will use the forum to "improve" their work Unfortunately we can not avoid this Also i have my concerns that the information from this forum could be abused
