Need some help on originality and price!

I'm confused by what you mean. Roxy is suggesting that It's been repainted. The make/year of it doesn't effect this at all. Sorry if I misunderstood Roxy, but I believe he is trying to say due to the "dent" in the cross, and yet it is still black, it may have been repainted or at bare minimum touched up. If this is what Roxy is trying to say, I must agree.

Yes it might have been repainted but i thought the EK's ribbon's colour might have been faded but the orange is the earliest ribbon colour you can get.

The EK2 ribbon is a fake. The EK2 is a fake. I don't hold out much hope for the rest of it.

Bas, you need to keep away from these auction sites and dodgy dealers or else you're going to be wasting alot of money. Stick to reputable dealers and buy low end items to start with. Get a feel for what's good and what's bad. Don't be tempted by these cheap 'too good to be true' sales from untrustworthy sources or you will be feeling pain in your wallet.

For what i know i already have a nice collection... and im close to already a year of collecting. I know how to spot some fakes... BTW the auction site is made by Ebay. big international militaria sites advertise on there. Theres so much crap on there because ads are free!D:

You didn't spot the fake EK2 and ribbon.

Keep away from the auctions, stick to dealers.

Try viewing them on a phone with a three inch screen! Thank God for youth.

Bas, I personal trust tran and hiscoll, but at the end of the day, even the best can make mistakes. The best thing you can do for yourself is learn, therefore you don't have to depend on anyone besides yourself.
