Hello and EK Question

[Toriwill2]

I recently started to expand my collection and I'm looking for some advice on authenticity.
I'm also new to the forum so, HELLO!

Can I get your expert opinions about this medal, real or fake?
Any idea who the maker is?
The jump ring is stamped with what appears to be an "A20"

Thanks!!

Hello and welcome to the Forum!

You have an original example of an EK2 made by Franz Petzl in Vienna with typical and unique '120' makers mark. Is the packet marked on the back for this maker?

Any chance you can edit your post and rotate the photos the right way up please?

I adjusted the pics, I don't know why they posted like that, sorry!
The back of the envelope says Franz Petzl, yes, thank you for the information!

Thanks Tori,

Here is my '120' for you to compare........

[Toriwill2]

Thanks for the pics Adrian, mine has a lot more grime. I paid 120 euro for it, do you think that was a fair price?

[Adrian]

That's about right for a packeted cross.

[Toriwill2]

Thank you! I guess I'll deal with this seller again. I appreciate your expertise.

[Adrian]

Out of interest, who was the seller?

A local guy I met here in Italy
