eBay Fakes

[Stogieman]

Here’s a fake Friedländer PLM that sold for $1135!! The usual suspect. This seller dumps one a week, various “makers”. Please note the similarities to the one posted recently in a separate thread. I’m sorry but I’m still astonished every time someone buys this garbage.

Me too, as a space filler I would value this set at around 50 bucks.

Again! Same seller, once a week and they keep buying! Fake engraving! Fake case! Fake badge (and a really awful one at that!). $406

I could cast a better copy in my garage, what absolute garbage.

The low winning bid shows that almost no one is buying this crap now. Knowledge spreads slowly but the internet is out there for all to use.  Not too long ago this would've sold for 3-5 times this.

People on German fleabay are going nuts over this pile of crap.

Rick, here is another fake Saxon case. And another product from our Schraegstich friend. For comparison I'm including a couple of shots of a real Reuss Arts and Sciences Cross. These are rare.

Thanks Vince!

That's still a neat case.  The medals are awesome!

 

When selling, if the case (or anything else) is a reprodction... Do the right thing, and identify it as such.
