Opinions Ek2 with Package

[SE Airborne NL]

Hi People,

Can you help me with this Ek2.
I'm not sure if this one is an orginal piece.
Sorry for the bad pictures, hope you can help me.





Best Regards,

Not a good one.
Its the infamous '333' fake. If you do a search on this forum for '333' you will find plenty of reading about this type.

Thanks for the information!
Any idea where i can buy ''Detecting the Fakes''?

The packet is fake too.

The author, Robin Lumsden, is a forum member and I think has a link that may provide the information you require. Failing that, a search on ebay or Amazon might help.
Please be aware that the book is a little dated now and the fakers have upped their game so while the book provides a basic guide and makes for a good read, you need to keep in touch with the forums to obtain the latest information on fakes.
The '333', '666' and '999' fakes have been discussed many times here on the forum and you will be able to spot the telltale signs that give these crosses away once you've read up on them. (Not withstanding the bogus maker marks.)
Here is a link to one such discussion: http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...&highlight=333
Hope this helps!
