The M1/167 eagle has also lost his beak.

Perhaps it was trying to get away and it got lost in the escape attempt.

An improvement in certain aspects, but still plainly a stinker. I saw the others that Pascal Bernhard posted. These are all prima fasciae the result of people like me posting real material.
An unending tale told by an idiot.

This is also junk, but whatever....

I have been following this thread and related threads about Faker Makers. Sometimes i think by posting our knowledge, we are bating them trolls. They can get plenty of information to refine their processes. Anymore i get so leery of certain SS and TR pieces. FB has brought up alot of valid points. The faker keep on refining and are getting very good at it. This is unnerving. How could, we as a Club, form a more secure way to describe the pieces? I know these Trolls have got to be taking damn good notes from our pointing out flaws. One day they will master it. i have no doubts.

Thank you for restating what I think is a highly salient point. I think your idea has merit, but the challenge and response of things is beyond my grasp; that is, the desire to inflict harm is surely greater than the capacity to resist what is a phenomenon that precedes 1945, actually.

Not wanting to put too fine a point on it, the second posting is much inferior to the first with the white RZM tag, and also inferior to the ones from Alsace.
In any case, for those who want to compare the authentic to the fake, this site well does so, but I am surely not enjoined to now do an essay on this comparison and contrast.
Each one of these has many little errors, but I am not going to list them, since why should I bear the fault for making fakes even better than they are today?
