Yet another gift from my friend's trip to Hamburg. Genuine? No makers mark unfortunately.

Hallo Eddie,

looks good to me, if there ever was a mark its probably on the missing ribbon ring, I dont think these have been faked yet

This one looks good but unfortunately even these have been faked. Do a google for The Regalia Specialist.

Hallo Martin,

thanks for the heads up on the Regalia Specialist, why they bother to repro these is beyond me, its not like they are hard to find??.

All I can do is weigh mine which is an original and later post the weight here, maybe there is a difference between the original and the repros??

Hi Kev

Very probably a difference in weight and no doubt a lack of crispness in the copy. Going to the expense of producing a copy for ?9.95 does seem strange, but then again nothing surprises me.

Just goes to show from the range on offer that you have to be careful of most things TR now. I am after a Memel Medal and the quality of his copy muddies the waters considerably, but the differences can be seen when you now exactly what to look for.

Happy Collecting

I like your cross as well! Nice piece!
