Please, Why you think it's a fake?

Hi Phil. I agree with You, recently a friend show me some pictures from a WWI german General group and I'm surprise to see various medals with replaced catches and suspension rings. My conclusion about it was the General had wear his medal too much and times to times someone was damaged and periode repaired. I don't believe your or mine medals are reproductions only due ring format or some little production differences. The only medals I think may be suspects I find on the net was the two samples I had posted above, but I not discarded the possibility they are only original periode variations. I sincerely like to see too a reconized modern reproduction to observe the differences from a periode one. Regards, Ricardo

Hi Uwe, Yes, I observed a little difference in the 9 format between mine and Phill's crosses and mine has a flat upper ring. But wat it means, one is correct and other none or it's only periode production differences? Regards, Ricardo

Hi Phil, Thank You very much for your pictures and opinion. I observed You have aproximatelly the same opinion and may be doubts about theses crosses I have. I posted this cross here because it was questioned in another forum, but the arguments are not very consistents for me and I think differences pointeds are only due different makers or periodes. I'm posting here pictures from two crosses I think are reproductions. Observe the differences from mine and your example. Regards, Ricardo

Please, I have this Hanseatenkreuz Bremen and I need some opinions about it: Regards, Ricardo

I have this KO cross and I have some doubts about it's core paint. I observed the gap between core and frame is closed with a coat of the same core paint. My question is, is it a repainted cross or is it a KO factory retouchment. Many Thanks, Ricardo

I recently purchase this unmarked EKII, but I can't identify its maker. Someone has one opinion about it please? Thanks

I received this armband, but I don't have experience about this kind of item. I submited it under UV light test and the diamond sew glow more than the others. I made these UV light test pictures and a comparation with two modern white tags under UV light. My question is: Is it a normal result or there is a red flag here?

It's GA Hoffman made and has a stamp inside indicating it's use at Kiliansdorf Flying School in 1939.

It's my Luftwaffe EM/NCO visor cap, purchased a year ago.

It's my cased 1937-45 China Incident War Medal Cheers, Ricardo

These are my DRA and DRL Bronze Sports Badges: Cheers, Ricardo

Hi Danny, You're sure, I'm thinking to have others EK's in the near future. Regards, Ricardo

It's my first post here and it's my EKII marked 55. Cheers, Ricardo
