1914 Wiederholungsspange

[Danny70]

Hello All,

This one sold yesterday on ebay (US$227), I had been watching it but didn't bid as I know practically zilch about these. The detail looks very good on this compared to others found frequently on ebay.
I am just wondering though, did someone get a great deal or have they been ripped off with a fake?

and the pictures for posterity.

That one is a fake.

Cat's paw, right Trev?

[streptile]

Yes, that's the one Greg.

Thank you Trevor.
After looking up some old threads on these I see what you mean.
I had forgotten the 'cats paw' reference!

Regards - Danny

Same opinion here!

But maybe as a nice placeholder, if you can get it for 30 Euros

It's a real shame that these turned out to be fake.
The detail and workmanship on them is excellent.

I agree Greg.
That is the reason I have left my one in place -
it's as close as I will ever get to the real thing.

I still have mine as well-----
