the spange is horrible. I've seen another floating round here recently too. It's not in my fake-file, but I'm 99% sure it should be...
the EK1 may be good, looks like a one-piece stamping to me, ask over at the Imperial section

That spange is truly one of the worst I have ever seen. And with a juncker makermark.
best wishes,

Guys,

Is it just me, or is the eagles' eye about level with its lower throat area on that "spange"??

I don't think that it's just you....

Thanks for the judgements guys. I suspected as much but since British and US medals are my forte I thought I would check with the collectors who are on top of the latest TR fakes.
