Combo's are rare.
The factory made pieces that I know of were made by Juncker and Mayer, and marked l/12 and L/18.
IF a SB cross is marked, it is always with an L/... mark, since these were not awarded but intended for private purchase.
And yes, we all get stung, that's part of the hobby.

First one is ok, second one is a fake....

I agree.
On the other hand: how many of these have survived??
Wouldn't have bought it 10 years ago, but this was really to good to let go.0 -

I thought private-purchase pieces were LdO marked, but I had one of these marked ones as well a while ago.

It's a piece from later production, no award piece
Nice one though !0 -

I would leave the ek1 "as is".
It's a shame the hardware is missing, but to have it properly restored you need original part (next to impossible)
Apart from that it will cost a serious amount of manoey.0 -
Since Marco's father died in early 1940, an early unmarked ek would be the best choice IMO....

If he had known the current value, he would have been more then one :-)

Hi Graf,
no problem, I completely understand that.
Well, that would have been cheap for an authentic round 3, they usually sell at about $1100 and up, that wasn't really less a few years ago.
But $ 500 is still a lot of money for something that isn't authentic.
Round 3 crosses are usually unmarked, the only marked example I have seen so far was shown on this forum by Chris Boonzaier.
A very credible one, given the source, but that is really the only marked round 3 so far.
Good luck!!

Hi Garf,
well, I presume there is a serious amount involved, so ask the dealer which expert he recommends for authentication.
Then it is his turn.
Send it to the recommended expert and see what the outcome is.
Good luck!!
Best regards,
Ben
