Gallipoli Star

[Gabor Tischler]

Hello guys,

Please help me in the identification. Is it an original or a fake star with this strange date?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Gabor

fake with acrylic cold enamel (note the plastic quality and dimpling) and wrong date.

These fakes are all over ebay.

I agree: I've seen one of these fakes, recently bought by a collector, here in Italy...

Shameful fake...
Never fails to surprise me the extent of what is faked out there..

Let's just think how expensive are the fakes sold as originals, in the field of the so-called ancient master paintings, or modern and contemporary art...

This Turkish "War Medal" is a visibly horrible fake though... I've seen other more "convincing" pieces already.

This must be some ''early'' fake, those forgers do better job these days!
