Die Wiederholungsspange sieht aus, als wenn diese nachtraeglich angeloetet wurde..??
hat sich das Material durch Ueberhitzung verfaerbt ???
Bitte um verstaerkte Hilfe !!!

A common fake set up. The cross is a 9th bead fake, the oaks and WHS are bad as well. You can find these on ebay all day long.

The wiederholungsspange looks almost like a "cat paw" fake?
