Aren't these supposed to be stamped on the attachment for them to stand a chance of being original?

they should be stamped on the back of the leaf,,these markings are poorly stamped,not the quality you would expect from a high german award

I'm a noob guys .. Thanks.. I'm getting it inspected tomorrow.. Just wanted to hear your opinions. I was hoping my gut feeling was wrong

I would pass on this one purporting to be Godet 2nd pattern but for me it's not good quality which gives it away !!

I guess it's true in this hobby... when it's to good to be true ... it is.

Confirmed by an expert... FAKE!!!

No, originals were stamped on the back of the leaves as Robert has said, I'm not sure if any were marked on the loop. Comparing to known originals, there is a world of difference between them and the award above.
