EK 1870 1870 EK 1 real or not?

Gentlemen,

I have had this for some time in my collection (20 yrs) but 1870 is a stretch for my collecting expertise. Your opinions please.

Thank you,

Vince

Sorry but this is a definite copy. The letter font is totally different to originals. If you do a search for Godet in this Forum zou will find originals that have been posted in the past, the difference in lettering is quite distinctive.

Thank you Gentlemen,

The truth, though painful at times, leads to experience. Luckly it was not an expensive lesson.

My best,

Vince
