KVK1 w/o Swords Floch?

[mvm71]

Looking at CG's site today and saw this on the update.........looks like a Floch repro to me, case looks suspect as well. Any thoughts?

Maybe someone knows Craig better than me to give him a heads up.

Believe you have a good point here, Mike.

Hello there,

Surely a reproduction.

That's what I thought. Now I know this has been beat like a dead horse but how can dealers or serious and experienced collectors make mistakes with WELL KNOWN fakes with COMMON awards such as this example?
This is not a Gold party badge or RK we are talking about.

I just find it very difficult to believe that it passes the eyes of a "experienced" collector/dealer like Craig, whom I have had nothing but positive dealings with I would like to add. I'm puzzled by it to be honest.

Just my thoughts,
Mike

I'm sure Craig would be happy if someone would let him know. I'll send him an email referencing this thread.

Yes makes you wonder. Bill Shea is able to do the same thing though.

Hello all,

I'm pretty sure it wasn't intentional by any means. Now, I'm sure that they have been around long enough to spot these, but when dealing with the quantity of pieces coming in and going out, mistakes do happen.

Good eye and nice catch!

Doh! Certainly appreciate the spotting of this, and thanks to Don for the email. It wasn't supposed to be listed (as anyone who saw this listing saw, it was even listed in the wrong category - accoutrements). I list all things in my "inactive" section in the accoutrements category because it's at the top of the page in my control panel that way, until I have time to vet it and post it. Anyway, removed from inventory. Thanks again.

Back up for sale! I wonder if Craig's staff got the word before............

EKII Floch

Looks like the EKII in this medal bar might be a floch too. What do you think?

EK on bar

It's not a Floch and is very likely good.

It's not a Floch and is very likely good.

After a closer look the "3" might be a round version???

My apologies - I am traveling in Germany, and I got some assistance with listings from my inactive section, and this piece got re-listed. I will alert him, and he can remove it. Greetings from Frankfurt.
