This thread is starting to take up a lot of band width. I get more depressed each time I view this material.
If actual bandwith and storage are a problem, I think there are tools to mass shrink images, to reduce image sizes, I could look into that.
I will leave it up to the forum to decide if you do not want to see any more of these and if so I will stop posting.

One question that puzzles me (I know nothing about Imperial German decorations):
Speaking of the one faker in question, are all the fakes of a specific decoration identical or does he even have variations in his fakes?
There is variation. Take for example the Gallipoli stars. All the ones posted in this thread differ slightly from each other, whether it's front or the back or both.

Well, someone broke the group. When I bought it it was a photo, ribbon bar and monogrammed silver ware. What a shame
When I picked up the ribbon bar at auction, from the estate of Rick L., the photo and silver ware were already absent.
Nice photo by the way, much better than the black and white copy I have.

This is a classic example of the work of the Schrägstich Faker. Note his signature Schräg-Sticherei (diagonal stitiching) of the backing cloth. This is exactly how this prolific fraudster got his name.
On the emedals website you can find archived (previously sold) examples of Alberts orders if you want to do a comparison.
