    The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )

    1st July 1916

    Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
    Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
    Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
    Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
    We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
    But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

    I posted this reply in the Paperwork section but I'll also post it here...

    EK's were not awarded below the authorisation level of Division (with exceptions during the Crete campaign and for IR Großdeutschland prior to April 1942) and yet this one has been authorised by an Abteilung. That is a red flag.
    And the more I look at it the more I don't like the signature.

    I've just had a look through my self-compiled files of known fake citation stamps and found this one that was on a faked Close Combat Clasp citation...

    My feelings exactly Kevin , the stamp , the signature , unit details etc i'm not happy with either and well done for finding the fake stamp !! Not sure who Mario Schulze is but he needs to have another look !!

    Okay. I agree with you fully. So, you think that this is a repo? The only thing that is throwing me is that this is the correct size and it has wear and tear that would be expected for an item of this age.

    The effects of age can be easily, and regularly are, faked. Abit of cold tea/whiskey here, a bit of dirt there, fold it up and leave pressed under a heavy book for a couple of weeks and job done. The size issue is easily done and the actual citation itself might even be original but was a blank example which makes the fakers job easier, and there are plenty of companies that sell blank reproduction versions for the re-enactor market. It's knowing the finer details such as order of battle, commanders, dates and awarding authorities which sees alot of fakers make mistakes as that takes homework and reference libraries. At the end of the day the faker who made this has got what he wanted. This obviously came from somewhere which means someone originally paid money for it so the faker benefits in this case from someone not doing their homework. He probably churned out loads of different examples.
