Hi all,
I have had this EKII in my collection for a long time. The source was a US Army vet, but I have read - just now on WAF - that these with maker ‘49’ are fake.
I am more of a civil and political collector myself. So I never really looked into my Wehrmacht awards very closely. But I have always liked this one for the patina.
The few Wehrmacht awards I have, I haven’t really investigated, since they are not my favorite collecting items. But I was just wondering about them, trying to find out more today.
But- if 49’s are fake??! Can you guys with more experience please take a look at this one and help me out. I had no idea 49’s were considered fake. I actually just looked at the maker today, and I have owned this for years!
Thanks guys!
John
