    Need help with RK offered for sale

    I've been offered the following RK (lazy 2) for purchase at a pretty reasonable price (reasonable being pretty relative here). As I know little about the RK and this will constitute quite an investment, I wanted to see if I could solicit some opinions from some of the more knowledgable members on this site. The pictures are not the best but are the best I could do with what was e-mailed to me. The piece was given to the family after the recipient's death and was, therefore, never worn. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

      Hi Richard,

      I’m not sure but can you see any crosshatching on this cross.

      I think this answers you question.

          The swaz looks too pyramidal (could be the angle, though), I don't like the shapes of the numbers (particularly the "9s"), and it looks like there's a glob of metal between the "1" and "8" of "1813."

            The frame does not look like that of any Juncker RK I've seen.

                Many thanks for all the feedback. With this much negative feedback it would be hard to accept this as an original. Thanks for saving me some serious $.

                  The maker mark is certainly incorrect

                    Thanks for the many replies. There is some crosshatching but it is inconsistent. So that I might be able to educate myself a little more, what is it about the maker mark that is incorrect and what is it about the frame that is unlike Juncker manufacture?
