Gordon Williamson Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Looks like one of the fakes featured on Don's site. Originals are extremely rare. http://home.comcast.net/~donbible/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrontlineAntiques Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 I hadnt seen Don's site before. Its very informative, and shows this tag for what it is - a nasty fake.Im new to TR and shocked by the numbe of fakes out there, both good and bad. I think that over 2/3 of the items i have looked at to purchase have been fakes, possibly even more.I can see that i am going to have to do a lot more reading before getting my wallet out!Thanks for your insight guysDan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Williamson Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Don actually published a book "Anatomy of Deception" in 1996, with the full story of these fake Prussian Police Discs. They come from Poland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrontlineAntiques Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Go Imperial!!!!! :-)I'm considering it Chris! I do have a growing Hindenburg cross collection and I'm interested in prussian awards. But the design of the TR stuff really gets me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeW Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Don actually published a book "Anatomy of Deception" in 1996, with the full story of these fake Prussian Police Discs. They come from Poland.They were allegedly produced in Poland, but the purchase was from England. They are of course floating around in the US.
