Medal bar opinions

[greg1878]

Hi guys, the Imperial arena is out of my comfort zone but I have always wanted an 1870 EK, I was hoping for some opinions on this medal bar.
Any guidance would be much appreciated

No opinions? I have to make a decision soon, does anyone think it has a chance?
Many thanks - Greg

Hi Greg,

Honestly, it has a (very good) chance but without better photos I wouldn't buy it. There are copies of these EKs. I am leaning towards good -- but why take a risk? I'd ask for good photos of the cross, front and back, if I were you.

Here is some info on the fakes, although there may be more types out there.

Many thanks Streptile for the advice, I had already asked for extra photos but I am still waiting, I will leave well alone unless they appear and I can post better shots.

If the seller doesn't want to send better detailed pics of the cross would tell me either he has a poor camera or trying hide the fact it is a fake

Hi, it's an auction and they say its in a long queue of similar requests for various items, I suspect that I won't get anything further
