Prussian Allgemeine Ehrenzeichen FAKE
Gentlemen,
I am truly, greatly encouraged that someone has taken the initiative to try to illuminate neophites like me to the dangers of copies, especially those that are passed off as legitimate, original pieces. I thought I was pretty savvy about things, but I have learned more about copies in the past month just going through this thread than a month of sundays. And as much as it hurts to say, because it makes doesn't make me look too smart, I see that in my collection there are some items that I thought were "right". Well, wrong! I have inadvertedly purchased some items that I thought were good and instead turned out to be duds, in the words of the late, great Eric Ludvigsen. One of my earliest purchases was a Prussian Allgemeine Ehrenzeichen 1st Class. Compared to correct ones that I purchased later, this one weighs a ton, is solid, as compared to original issue ones which are hollow, and the gilt center looks like someone had indigestion and did something indecent to it. Here are its scans. More to come.

There are Factory New M-15 EM/NCO Prussian buckles around, many still in the original wrap, so don't assume that a perfect example must be fake. GWM had a crate of them some years back with documentation as brought back by a high-ranking US officer.

The "Goldene Militärverdienstkreuz" looks dangerous! But I think there were no originals with a "800" silver stamp.
