Hi Andreas! That sounds very good. Do you know how many numbered medals were issued? Kind regards, Tommy

Hi. Yes its not fun that two of three are crap, BUT i have to se it in a positiv way one of three was original, could have been worse! And yes i realy hate this fakers that ruins a nice hobby. Now i need to find an original Alsenkreuz! Tommy

Hi Guys! I like to show you my two medals For labour Valour. And i like to know if the numbered one is okay? Number 9959. Thank you! Tommy

Hello! now i have tried to examin the Duppler crosses. I belive the one to the left is original, it has sharper details and the material its made of seems to be of much higher quality and it has the ”extra soldering” where the ring is conected to the cross itself. I have seen it on the 1866 crosses. But the cross to the right is made of some other metal, its surface is very grainy and the left arm has som pitts in it and the upper arm is not straight its oblique. I hope somebody understands what iam trying to say…. Tommy

Hello! Okay, so the Alsen cross is crap…. Wrong details, wrong material? Please do explain. I think one of the Duppel crosses are fake, i will try to show in a picture tomorrow. Kind regards Tommy

Hello Saschaw! Thank you for your opinion! I did put it back in the ”box of shame”, but it seems like i can put in my German Colonial collection then! Kind regards Tommy

Hi Slawek. Interesting, is this a common method? Never seen befor. Is this medal an early exampel or is it only from another manufacturer? kind regards Tommy

Hi VtwinVince. No, no makermark on this one. I suppose its best to find one thats marked if i want to be 100% sure. Tommy

Hi. Nobody here collecting these? Or is it an obvious fake? I have understood that not all of these medals are makermarked…. and if it helps its weight is18grams. kind reg Tommy

Hi. Thanks VtwinVince for your replay. Someone with an other opinion? Do somebody know if these was made of several makers or only one? Tommy

Hi Guys! Can sombody confirm this as a fejk RK badge. Never seen one like this before. Kind regards Tommy Back .

Hi! Yes i noticed that you can now find these crosses in large numbers on the ebay. Collecting anything now is a minefield, Hope these pics helps? Alsen Duppel nr2.

Hi! I like to show you a hatbadge from the Finnish Guard in the Grand Duchy of Finland. Hope you like it! Tommy Back
