Opinions on EKII 1813 - Prinzengrosse

[Douglas Jr.]

Hi,

This appeared on a local online auction.

I have no further pictures but I'm interested to hear your opinions about its authenticity, as it is a such rare item.

Thanks in advance,

Douglas

Geez, I almost hate to say this... but based on the images shown, as a Prinzen, I actually like what I see! I have only handled a few this early so I would be interested in what other members have to say. You might wish to double-post your question in the Iron Cross Forum as well.

Your answer surprised me!

I put a link to this topic on that forum!

Thanks!

I also think it stands a good chance. I like the 'stepped' core, details look good, and I like the suspension ring setup.

Isn't that the known fake that comes with any insitutation of the EK?

Anybody else, now I'm very curious after saschaw's comment!

Hi gents.

Might pay to do a quick re-read of this thread http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=3470&st=0&p=33458&hl=prinzen%20&fromsearch=1&#entry33458

Thus one of the pitfalls of Imperial... can't remember everything and no shortage of people trying to burn us. Thanks Marshall!

As Marshall cryptically implies, it's a known fake.
