New collector - Genuine items or repro?

[Militariacurious]

Hi All - and thank you for your help For the untrained eye it is hard to spot the differences between fake and genuine, så your help is very much appreciated. I will remember your advice to start a new thread for each item in the future. My friend still have a lot of items so I hope it is okay, if I later on ask for your help again ?

That's what the forum and it's members are here for, saves us having to talk to the missus!

Hello all,

What is the Pilot/Observer fake referred to amongst collectors, what is the name of this fake, or who is the maker trying to be?
