What letter and/or numerals are within the incused stamping on the reverse of the pin?

[Badto666]

It stands in the auction that it´s a 3. And that doesn´t match with the other "3" in niemanns archive.... So I guess it´s a fake or that the seller can´t see correct. What do you think of this one?

Not for my collection; for both examples the pin gives it away. Your second example appears artifically aged.

Bill, is this the pin commonly referred to as the "coke bottle"?

Yes, for example, an "L/10", Deschler & Söhne with a "coke-bottle" shaped pin.

The first one of them went for around 150 euro.....150 euro for a fake is quite much :P
Thanks guys for your help
