pikestaff Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 hello all, hope this is the right place. I recently bought this from UK MILITARIA, the strange thing is, as soon as I put the order in, the pictures and legend were deleted from the sight, other items marked as sold remand on site. highest regards Pikestaff
M Hunter Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 Would really need better pictures but the SS Device looks fake and the catch on the reverse looks brass. Like i say, better pictures will reveal all. I hope you didn't pay any more than £10 for this one..... Matt
P.F. Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 If it is anything like the other one posted on the site at the moment (and it does look to be the same construction ) then your bar is 100% FAKE!! Here is a picture of the one for sale at the moment...going for £150!!! Unrealistic combination (1914 EK1+1939 Spange on a 1939 EK2 Ribbon... ) fake devices and brass catch on reverse!!! Looks a lot like yours, though sharper pictures would clarify this. I just hope you can get your money back for it. Kind regards Pierce
P.F. Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 The SS Device is a bit like this one that Matt posted a while back. http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=41669

P.F. Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 (edited) Okay, thanks for the heads up, I'll post it back to UK MILITARIA Monday and ask for a refund. many thanks Pikestaff. Contact the seller before posting it back, stating you require a refund as the bar was sold to you as an original (i assume) and is in fact a fake. Also post it back via recorded post or get a proof of posting. Best of luck Pierce Edited June 12, 2010 by P.F.
