VtwinVince Posted September 27 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted September 28 Author Share Posted September 28 Thanks for the help Vince, it’s getting very scary out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 Yes, these are not run of the mill junk, look at the quality of construction. I find this a worrying trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stogieman Posted October 1 Author Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Is there a pic of the reverse with the pin raised? Appears to be silver gilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted October 1 Author Share Posted October 1 There was but I didn’t save it as it wasn’t very clear, I agree, looks silver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VtwinVince Posted October 1 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schießplatzmeister Posted October 1 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybercat Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 I really wonder who the hell is paying these fakes, and how they get all that fund easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex K Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 (edited) Does this help? Looks like 950 and JL to me also Edited October 2 by Alex K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted October 2 Author Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted October 7 Author Share Posted October 7 Yet another fake Prussian Observer Badge in a fake case from our Usual Suspect. $577.
