Hi Matt

Can you educate me as to why this bar is a fake please? Thanks!

Hi Uwe

Thanks for your reply, and the corrections. BUT! I am a bit confused now The one I just bought is the second grade, Fechtmeister. The original one I have, which was identified by you as a Fechtmeister, is actually a Fechter, correct? In the link you provided, I now have the ones in pictures #105 and #108, is that correct? That makes picture 108 the second grade, and 105 the lowest? Fifth grade? Can you tell me what 106, 107 and 109 are please? Thank you Uwe!

Hi Matt

Thanks for those links mate, they're a good read, and thanks for filling in what number 6 and 7 were. I'm glad you like my 8er bandschliefen, I paid 22.83 euros for it from Klaus Butschek. Not sure if that's too much, but I'm happy with it and that's the main thing!

Thanks Dave and Bavaria, most interesting :)

I started collecting these a while ago, and some of mine go back to the 1860s. I'll start off with Graz, 1902
