Ehrenkreuz des Weltkriegs 1914/1918 - fake?!

[LarryC]

Dont you think this one looks odd?

the "9" is not alligned with the other numbers.... I just dont have a good feeling. Any help would be appreciated

[gel65]

It looks as if it were cast does not look good to me

You're right, it doesn't look very good. You would need to go a long way to find a fake Ehrenkreuz, I can't recall seeing one before.

I agree with Adrian and gel45; does not look good. These are indeed not heavily faked, simply because original ones are always readily available for very little money.

ahaha a worthless rare fake.... unbelievable....

thank you guys for the heads up!

[canti44]

It might be worth a fortune to a collector of rare fakes!

[TrondK]

It could be the fakers have started to produce these so "9" will be accepted. Or testing their evil skills on a medal to see if it slips thru the cracks.

Thanks for sharing.

[Adrian]

I can't imagine there's much money in it for them, a very common medal, low value and without meaning to be disrespectful, relatively undesireable too.

They will be stamping fake tinnies next !!!

I agree with you Adrian.... but think of it that way. Since its not so desireable and does not command a lot of money collectors might buy a fake thinking that the cross HAS to be genuine since fakers would waste its time on it!!

* fakers wouldn't waste time on it
