Droocoo Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Hi all, A friend of mine who collects British medals has purchased the following EKI and EKII for the 1870 series. I own two 1870 EKII’s and no EKI’s and I am a bit out of practice on spotting fakes. I feel that the EKI is wrong because of the crown and reverse finish. I also feel the EKII is incorrect because of the crown. I realise that the EKII has a re soldered ring too. Do others feel as though these are reproductions? more of the EKI Some of the EKII Another of the EKII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 To me, both pieces are copies. The details look inconsistent with known original pieces. Sorry! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Cornwell Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Both pretty shoddy fakes unfortunately. Hope your friend didn't get too badly burned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
