My strange DK...

[Okrach]

Well,

Once my wife has realised what I am after she told me that she saw something with swastika by her Grandfather in Silesia. She brought it to me as a gift to my 25th birthday and well... it is not usual one...

I have once aked one guy for the expertise (he is well experienced in this matter) and he said it is a fake. I accepted that fact since there are many things supporting it. Nevertheless what I found interesting is what I have marked on the picture below

Could it be that it was painted before?..The light shows more polished areas as the 'interior' swastika was covered by something what was removed later on... Can saomeone of You Gentlemen tell me something about this maker stamp?... It is a strange piece to me but it is very valuable because it was a gift from my wife (who doesn't feel the same passion for this hobby as I do)
I will be looking forward to see any comments from You - I am very curious about Your opinions...

Hello,
The item is a really bad reproduction (looks like an old fake from the 70's) and may have been painted at one time and then someone removed the paint. The maker mark is a fantasy stamp. No real DK would bear the mark M1/11.
Regards,
Jody
