This one is a fake Rory..........

Thanks for the reply Adrian, has it anything to do with the colour of the frame? I thought it was ok, i got it at a mititaria fair so was on the spot, it seemed ok as it was three piece?

Cheers

No, not the colour, the beading and the dates. Take a look at the inner corner beading, you should see a tiny X on the corners? Not found on any wartime maker of EKs but is found on fakes.

[Woolgar]

Agreed, spurious maker mark too

Ill have to get the magnifing glass next time im with my collection, i cant see the x's on the inner corners from the pics (are the inner corners beside the swaz?) Thanks for pointing that out ill take it back next time the fair is on, thats the worst about buying in person as i usually check crosses with other examples.

Cheers

Rory
