Tony Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 What's the obvious mistake to spot they're both repros, is it the units or something else? Paying 8 euros for one being sold as a copy is certainly worth it for the fakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 Hi, for the EK, other than that the blanks are for sale, this ugly typing and regimental stamp has been used for fakes of other docs for a few years now. The terrible writing on the wound badge is the same illegible scrawl as was used on the fake colonial docs some years ago. here is one with fake cross... http://www.ebay.de/itm/Orden-Eisernes-Kreuz-1-Klasse-1914-mit-Nadel-und-Besitzzeugnis-Top-Anfertigung-/191780961418?hash=item2ca7093c8a:g:igkAAOSwaA5WlPRc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 The writing is a bit untidy and reminds me of modern illegible German handwriting but they'd still fool me. Another minefield for someone who just wants a doc. to go with an iron cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Liontas Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Wow those are fairly good. For the inexperienced that is getting dangerous. I'd be fooled as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Chris, Sorry if I am being thick but are the blanks genuine remainders or are they fakes as well. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
