SS Pocket Watch

[FPerseghetti]

Hello Guys,

One more of the so misterious SS itens, can you please tell me your findings about this 19.SS.GREN.DIV.RGT.43 pocket watch ?

As it an SS item I'm speacially concerned before trading with other original things of my colletion ...

Thank you all in advance !

Be very careful with items like this - they are often faked. It is easy to get an old pocket watch and then engrave the inside like this.
They have been posted on the forum before.
If it were me i would stick to items more easy to authenticate.

I would not trade anything original for this one!
I think that says it all...

[FPerseghetti]

Thank you guys ! I was right on my feeling then ...

Fakers love old watches, a 10$ investment plus some engraving you have a 250$ watch.
Cigarette cases, lighters, pretty much anything that can be engraved has been, SS runes and RZM stamps are very popular.

Just looking at the uneven SS runes, this one should be avoided..

You got some sound advice from previous members, so I will only echo what they said and steer clear..

an original antique that's been "pimped" to become something it's not.
