Assmann IAB fake ?

[Jan Arne S]

Hi Guys !
Opinion on this Assmann IAB ?

Yes, I have seen this fake before. This is a Vienna design and no match to the Assmann design.

Hi Jan,

They sure did do a good job on the "A" mark, looks very well done and accurate. But the vienna design obverse is very strange combination and surely a red flag with this one.

Thanks for showing this one, a dangerous fake if you aren't up on the Assmann design.

Hi Jan-Arne

Apart from the vienna obverse, the missing leaf is another dead give away.

It has been known for some time now...
