Hi,

It was a long time since I added an ISA, but I could not resist this very nice L/56 Funcke & Brüninghaus. Hope you like it.

A very nice addition Jonas! Congrats!
I believe I have an unmarked example, I'll have to check my files when I get home.

Hello Jonas,

I'm sorry to say, but in my opinion it's a very dangerous fake of a well know fake dealer.
There are some small differences and soft details compared to an original one and it has excactly some signs of a known fake.

Hi again,

I've marked some areas where you can see the differences compared to an original example.

Thanks for the input Sven. I made a quick search on another forum where a L/56 IAB Bronze have the same tooling flaw on the reverse an mine. That was seen as an original.

Hello Jonas,

thanks for the close-ups! Sorry, but I still don't like it. In my opinion it's exactly the same type, the mentioned fake seller is selling from time to time.
A die flaw is not a sign for originality anymore, because they can be copied without any problems nowadays.
The bronze L/56 on WAF is for sure a fine original.

Please wait on some other opinions, especially Fischer's opinion would be great.
