Ek1 1813 & 1870

[Hanhart]

Hello , what do You think about this crosses ?

[Lubo]

I’m not an expert on EKs, but I like them both as far as execution goes, look period.

I'm going to play devil's advocate here.

I don't like them. They were both made with the same materials
and by the same hand yet they are from award periods that are
50+ years apart. I think they are someone's home craft project.

I've share my concerns with Greg. Besides, I've never seen pictures (or heard of) of a cloth 1870 EK1. The original cloth 1813 EK1 looks very different.

I've only ever seen a 1914 that was supposedly original.
It didn't look very much like these at all.

Thank You guys for all replies.

No Devils Advocate at all…
The faker made his own trap😂…
So easy to spot.

Agreed, every time I see paper backing with 'period correct' script, my faker radar comes out.
