EuRob Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Hello Gents I think I have spotted a fake and I am reservedly chuffed about this! Might be wrong but feel I am right?I have been looking for a Bavarian 3rd cl. with swords and crown weiss & co. Saw these and have hopefully bagged the right one!https://www.weitze.net/cgi-bin/cat-art-inde..._104&lang=dhttp://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...A:IT&ih=008Check out the ORDENFABRIK small case on the suspect one and upper case on Weitze example. Also the impression of the print on the right one and the blurriness of t'other one.Am pretty 'appy wiv myself for spotting this, maybe? Comments welcome, everyday is a school dayRobwent for the weitze item! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuRob Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 not sure if weitze link is working so Weitze pic of the inner case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
militaria0815 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Both items are doubtless originals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuRob Posted December 14, 2007 Author Share Posted December 14, 2007 Both items are doubtless originals.ok....I dont doubt you are right but how come the difference in the 'brand' logo if they are from the same maker? and I guess from around the same period. Also the 'blueness' of the silk lining and velvet on the ebay item seems very new looking compared to the Weitze item. Excuse my naivety but I am in a learning process.Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Hi,Weitzes is badly faded. There is a loooong time span, one could be made in 1914, one in 1940.... that the materials stay exactly the same is unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medalnet Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Variations are OK in this case. They awarded more then 10.000 of those crosses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
