Fake 1st Class of the Order for Bravery on eBay.de

Although  i have to admit it is good copy it has many features that can trick only new collector

- The  additional ring is missing

The Central medallion has too many dots

The lion is very bad quality to be first Class The swords were wit wrong handles

The back cap is wrong

The pin  although look good, is not a correct

 The Cross looks too shiny and new i suspect the enamel is new soft one i do not think that the seller will test it if asked to do so.

The Seller claims  that the Order is Original gilded silver I doubt

 

It is scary that the fakers can produce such good copy

The seller also sells few other fakes including well known  PLM  supposedly  made by Wagner  Has the marks however it is not near the quality of the Original -still attracted many bidders

Here is a well known original 1st Class

this cross not better 😃 

OR THIS from HH

I have this corpus of WALDECK order . 
If you have hands and instruments, you can make bulgarian order for bravery

French box You can see the Crown  looks made of metal The Order is nice however is not in the correct box

 

Sadly the Seller did not want to separate the group..I missed the box

Very, very rare box 👍

Russian

Autors of books call this varian “bulgarian” 

( I think - two variants with bulgarian discription )
