Re: Is this Prussian Pilot's Badge and EK1 real?
The Ek IS a fake.
I am no expert on pilot's badges but my gut says ---BAD

Re: Is this Prussian Pilot's Badge and EK1 real?
I had thought the same thing; but, I wanted a more informed opinion than simply my gut.
Thanks so much for your input.
These medals are on Ebay (US). I contacted the seller and he says he thinks they are fake but the auction does not say this.
I think he is party to whole scam...
Ebay takes caveat emptor to a new level...remember: "...there's a sucker born every day, that's the Ebay way!!!"

I agree--Ebay can be a scary place but if you do your home work, you can find some
great pieces there. Over half my collection can off ebay. Including my 1813 and a
couple of 1870s.

Re: Is this Prussian Pilot's Badge and EK1 real?
I admit that I too have purchased militaria off of Ebay; and as you say, I did a lot of homework.
I asked on the Luger forum, the Pickelhaube forum and now that I am getting into medals, this forum.
Guys like you have save me from making very poor purchases and for that I thank you.
I just purchased an EK1 that I am 89% sure is not a fake. Once I receive it I will post and get your thoughts on that too.
thanks again,
Richard
