VtwinVince Posted September 27 Posted September 27 I posted these on SDA for opinions, and the consensus is that these are the new generation of fakes currently being produced in Belgium.
Stogieman Posted September 28 Author Posted September 28 Thanks for the help Vince, it’s getting very scary out there!
VtwinVince Posted September 28 Posted September 28 Yes, these are not run of the mill junk, look at the quality of construction. I find this a worrying trend.

More like the other way around. Maybe the bar is geniue, maybe not, but the medals are definitly are all fake, expect the FEK. The bar could be fake aswell, good one though. 1
Stogieman Posted October 1 Author Posted October 1 Well, this doesn’t look anything like the original examples I’ve seen and handled from a friend’s collection but somebody dropped $3,400 on it! Opinions?
VtwinVince Posted October 1 Posted October 1 Is there a pic of the reverse with the pin raised? Appears to be silver gilt.
Stogieman Posted October 1 Author Posted October 1 There was but I didn’t save it as it wasn’t very clear, I agree, looks silver

VtwinVince Posted October 1 Posted October 1 Can you make out what it says? That pin looks vaguely Zimmermann-ish. And the enamel looks unusual. Where are the Bavaria specialists, Lorin?
Schießplatzmeister Posted October 1 Posted October 1 Hello Vince, The photo is sadly of very poor quality. I believe that I read "950" (incuse) and "J L" (incuse) on the reverse. The 950 mark is for 950/1000 silver and the J L mark is for Jacob Leser (Straubing). Best regards, 1
cybercat Posted October 2 Posted October 2 I really wonder who the hell is paying these fakes, and how they get all that fund easily.
Alex K Posted October 2 Posted October 2 (edited) Does this help? Looks like 950 and JL to me also Edited October 2 by Alex K
Stogieman Posted October 2 Author Posted October 2 Good Morning All, thanks for the input. So, it seems to actually be legitimate, how about the bid? $3400 seems very high for this piece to me? I know it’s scarce but that seems more in line for a gold one?
Stogieman Posted October 7 Author Posted October 7 Yet another fake Prussian Observer Badge in a fake case from our Usual Suspect. $577. I really have to wonder what on earth people think, this seller has a never ending supply of flight badges and PLMs but people keep snapping them up!!
VtwinVince Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Oh dear, this must be one of the 'next generation' coming out of Belgium. Pretty scary.
Stogieman Posted October 15 Author Posted October 15 Again, the usual suspect, the bottomless pit of fakes, people just snap them up! This one enhanced with fake engraving, $386
Stogieman Posted October 15 Author Posted October 15 One would think with these fake sets popping up on a weekly basis that the buyers would smarten up, but no, this one brought $615
VtwinVince Posted October 15 Posted October 15 No kidding, and if you know anything about the German language, you'll know how fake this is.
Stogieman Posted October 15 Author Posted October 15 And where would we be without this week’s obligatory fake PLM that went for $1550?
Stogieman Posted October 16 Author Posted October 16 And a fake “Poellath” Bavarian Pilot Badge, the usual suspect, $689
VtwinVince Posted October 21 Posted October 21 These caught my eye today, another dangerous product from our Belgian friends (the Saxon) and a really awful Feldschnalle.
