I would say all showed in these pics is 100% original.
The 1st cross is not so rare but just not easy to find, one like this was sold by C. Baldes (to someone fastest than me) yesterday,
I have seen another one in the last show in Germany I visited (October 2010).
The second one is a nice EKI manufactured during the WWI in an original late war LDO case, called Halbetui.

gerrit, this should be in the imperial sub forum, there is a great "sticky" thread entitled "Imperial EKs", see here https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/imper...rial-eks-8822/ where another Godet "Fangs" EK I is shown and discussed on this thread, and I am sure some of the guys there will be more than willing to help you out. I'll see if I can get it moved, I am sure Adrian wouldnt mind.
Prost ! Steve.

Both crosses are very nice originals. The Godet is not real "RARE" but it is a very sought
after varient. I don't believe that the cased cross is original to the case and i can not
comment on the authenticity of the case. I have no usefull experience with TR era cases.
I think with better close up shots of the cased cross, we might be able to identify the maker.
