Yankee Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 Dear GMIC Members For most it is common knowledge that Oldenburg has an enormous amount of high quality fakes in circulation & a good many are being valued as orginals. In regards to the stars & officer class examples there is a simple step that will allow collectors to differentiate a good example from a bad one. All genuine Bernard Knauer examples should have his first initial B stamped as B KNAUER on the reverse. Examples without the B and reads only KNAUER should be avoided & treated as post 1918 copies. Sincerely Yankee
