"Guaranteed Original" Kuban Schild????

[G43]

It is tough to find a lot of original examples. I will keep searching though.

May i ask a close up of the egal?

I would love to give you one, but those are the only pictures I have. They are the only two the seller posted.

Thanks for the link. It does look similar as did the numbers, like you mentioned before. I'm starting to think this shield has a good chance of being the real McCoy!

I have some concerns about this one. In particular is the backing paper. This is just the same as found on the Floch fakes. I would pass on it due to that or do some further research.

Cheers, Ae.

What else is wrong with it

[Adrian Stevenson]

Had a closer look at it and I now think it is not a Floch. It was just the paper that had me worried. The Floch die flaw is not present, nor is the slightly higher letter "J".

Cheers, Ade.

But do you still believe it to be a fake?

[Adrian Stevenson]

Not the Floch fake is what I am saying. I won't stick my neck out further than that
