Blutorden...a fake?

**harti** · 05-09-2015, 11:46 AM

Hello...

I found this Blutorden. It will be on auction in June.
Right now there's no minimum bet available.

Do you think this is a real Blutorden...or just a (good?) fake.

Thanks for any help and opinions...

Agree with Glenn :-)
BUT it's a desire able medal = lots of fakes !

An interesting piece. What does the Silver Content stamp say? Am I seeing "838"??

**harryamb2** · 05-09-2015, 07:16 PM

its certainly good on detail.

It is a fake.
The numbering font is wrong. See attached good examples of similar range.
No 838, but 800.
Case is fake too

Should the ray touch the 'G' or not?
I can never remember. ......

Thank you for all your answers.
I also think that the silver stamp "838" is a hint that this is a fake.

Harti,
just use the numbers as a start, you can see the font style as shown in the 2 good examples, never it has that style in your BO.
Of course, there are several non matching areas but no need to go deeper.
