New Chinese Fakes!!

[Nigel N]

Hi Guys!!!
Fresh from China, the latest fakes, there are vearious medals, some made in both 57 form and wartime!
The DK's look not too bad looking at the obverse, but at the moment, they have very poor hardware, MM'd with "1" for Deschler, but if a few alterations are made, including more realistic hardware and rivets, they could be a problem for some collectors, at the moment, these are being sold as repro's. but it wont be long before someone tries to pass one off as an original.......

Possibly more worrying is this medalbar, which wasn't being sold as a repro.....

Looks like the same kind of Hindy as this one.

Do you know if the mm is W.K on it? It would be interesting to know if the are making different mm´s on their fake hindys.

P.S. the KVK ribbon is the worst repro i´ve seen, just look at the black loops.

They are selling the same fake Hindy's with WK on them Peter, as loose medals, not sure if the Hindy on the bar has the same MM? I would guess so??

I see now that it is the same seller, so it is probably the same mm...

And they are spreading, here is the same hindy on a bar being sold from the US (also sold as a repro).

Damn those Chinese

Thanks for that, Nigel

That are indeed very dangerous fakes. The avers looks damned convincing and with blurry pics and no revers pic you´re in danger to buy that scam.

When they really would change the setup (what they´ll do for sure in the future) you really have to make your homework to identify these.

Very very bad news for all collectors

Thanks for the post Nigel!

This is worrying for sure!!

Can you post a photo of the reverse of that 3-place medal bar?

Thanks

Hi Pierce!!
At the moment (as far as I know) theres only one seller, from China, who's selling these medalbars, and they haven't provided any reverse photo's so far!!! So we will have to wait and see, they are sure to turn up on other sites, and probably with different combinations of medals, this is just the start....unfortunately!!!

Thanks Nigel. Do you have a link to their website or seller's page?

[Nigel N]

They also sell this RK to the KVK, again without a reverse photo, so i'm not sure if this is a 57 version or a swastika version, or maybe available as either????

And WAF member collecter has bought a medal bar, so maybe he can provide pics of the reverse.

He shows the bar here: http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...1&postcount=12

Note the fake magnetic LS medal.
