    Oppinions please

    Hi

    I'm seeking help to verify these two objects wich belongs to a friend of mine.

    First the 1914 EK1 wich is one-piece made. It doesn't have the small dot pattern below the black paint wich usually is seen on one-piece made EK's. The hinge and pin somewhat also bothers me a bit.

    Next a EK2 spange wich I belive is a poor lead fake...but still more oppinions are better than just one.

    Thanks in advance.


    Cheers,
    Carsten

    Reverse - very smooth and shiny with no obvious traces from being buffed...

          The pieces are fakes and an insult to the original german iron cross manufacturers.

              that EK spange looks like its home-made
              very bad casting

                $100 says you can make nice vaulted examples of both, with your finger pressure alone

                    Gentlemen, thank You for confirming my worries...much appreciated Now the tough part - to break the bad news to the owner

                    @ Darrel: The EK1 is not bendable - so atleast it can be used for a beer opener when washing down the bad news Sarcasm aside I belive he can get a refund on both items - so not so bad, though it's always a downer.
