Jason Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Gents, while perusing the many stalls full of nasty fakes at todays Arms fair in Brisbane, found an old friend selling off the collection of a fellow collector....he had this Red Eagle 4th class amongst other things, and was willing to trade some bits and pieces for it. My question goes to the experts here, is this an original piece? There are no makers marks anywhere on it, and it seems to be legit to me, but I've only held a total of 2 in my hands before - these aren't easily available down here in Oz....and I told him i'd let him know tomorrow if the trade will go ahead....(apologies for a couple of the pics!)thanks!

Tom Y Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 It may just be the photo (or my eyes), but the details look less crisp than I would expect. particularly the borders of cross and medallion. I'd also expect a "barrel" type ?se. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAO Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I have no problem with the piece. It is not beautiful but rare. I think a second piece weakly struck possibly no silver. Maybe Buntmetall alloy. I see the value + / - 200, - Euro. Greeting Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
