    On thise picture you can notice the difference in shape of the "cut-out".
    Left a original dug up, right a faked one.

    Well illustrated Kris !, members, please post known fakes for discussion/debate, wether it be a buckle, badge or something a little bigger !......there appears to be a lot of Imperial fakes around these days, and I anticipate a lot more as we approach the centennial of the Great War .........
    Prost ! Steve.

    I was wundering how a fake would look like.So i baught thise one.
    It as been nearly 30 years ago that I last handled one, when I had one in my first collection, and I must say; they did a great job on the shell, but the front plate, the chin scales and the cockades... s***s!
    Cant speak for the eagle as mine did had one.
    It looks great from a distance but that image fades when coming closer.
    It could be used to present original parts.
    But I am not going to keep it.

    Hey Steve
    I'll let you know in a PM, but lets say that one was just recently sold for 789£ on ebay, the item number was 190550976376
    And on the other hand a genuine mint condition just was sold for 40.000 euro....I am afraid I am never going to own one anymore!

    Kris, "Regimentals" has an EM's version of this helmet at £7,700 !.... 40,000 Euro, astounding price !....and I thought Herr Fischer was a "Götz von Berlichingen" !
    Prost ! Steve.

    That helmet needs a very close examination IMO.
    I used to be a regular customer of Regimentals, some 30 years ago, and it will take a other 300 years before i will buy from him again!!
    We discussed it lately in https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/order...uestion-75661/
