Opinions on SS Erkennungsmarke

[CARL]

I have limited knowledge in this field, and having failed to rule it out after looking at replica examples shown here on the forum, I would welcome any opinions on this piece. The dealer is usually reliable, but this is SS...

Junk- it's the usual: bad font, etc. The font and even the same layout you can see on these fakes:





It's likely not the dealer's fault; few of them know enough to be able to evaluate Erkennungsmarken well- they're very specialized.

Thank you for the quick response, and taking the time to highlight the fault(s) Matt, I appreciate it.

You bet Just saying 'it's bad' doesn't help anyone
