drawn a blank

Hi Pascal i have sat and stared and stared at it .I seem to have drawn a blank.
I must be honest with you my eyes are not very good.
I seem to see points of both that look the same.
Cant see a dam thing from all that staring.
I will take my luck and say its a good copy.
Please put me out of my misery.
Regards Pete

Hi Pete,

You're right. I'm afraid it is indeed a good copy.
Have a closer look of the top of the "A" of KUBAN. A good indication .

Clearly a copy.

The best Kuban fake explained thread by Pascal shows it well and it can´t be explained better than this. It´s also good to have the backside showing on Kuban in thread here.

????????????

Ok so not to seem like a total w....r... I JUST DONT SEE IT.
I have compared the top of the A from my copy to the one from the collection posted in the link.
Ime trying to learn here guys,but i cant see any diffrence between the 2.
Pascal .Can you take me under the wing here and help me to see it
Best regards Pete

Hi Pete,

Years ago, when Pascal first started comparing this one, I too had a hard time seeing it or, believing that fakes had progressed to this level. I countered, why not a second die but...you learn.

So, without going into every point Pascal calls out, concentrate on the apex of the letter "A". Note how much larger the top is compared to the narrower original. I'll add his photos below for easy comparison.

Hope that helps?

Pete,

It's not a problem, that's why this forum first started, to discuss and show members what they needed to see/know. Don't feel you can't ask questions here.

Glad to be of help!

Tim

[ironfist]

Ok Tim thats great.
Ok we have the big A there is one with the die flaw on the birds left foot.
Any more ime sure there is ,ha ha
Also there is one i think where the S in KRYMSKAJA sits to low.
