A fake. Used to be called the 2 dot fake but the makers have since improved it by removing the 2 dots at the bottom of the grass by the wreath.

Its nice to see fakes without maker marks nailed..

I remember when you could tell fakes because

1) They were bad quality

2) They were good quality and maker marked, but "wrong" for that maker

That good quality Non maker marked are being recognised as fakes is great.

I remember speaking to what is probably Americas BIGGEST dealer... he said to me "All fakes have makers marks" which left me wondering why clever fakers do not make them without marks...

[dond]

The majority of fakes are unmarked imo. This conversation must have been a while ago.

[dond]

Worse IMO is that fakers watch these forums and correct thier wares.

Don and Chris,

Thanks for your replies!

In fact I heard the same phrase from a local dealer few years ago... it goes the same as "if [an EK] is a three-piece construction then it is good for sure".
