The "Bad Crown Fake"

Best regards,

Yes it is

Michel nailed it--"bad crown fake"

[Von Eisen]

Thats a scary fake, do these Bad Crown type cores all come in the same frame, with the same type of jump ring ?.

[gregM]

The frames are all pretty convincing. But the easiest way to spot this
fake is to look at the crown. The sweatband part of the crown is not
centered under the crown, it overhangs the crown on the right side.

I would assume the oaks are fake also then?
