fake or not fake? EK2

[beuwulf]

Hi, I`m trying to do this right.. My first time doing this... I`ve got this cross from my father who lives in Belgium... This cross is non magnetic and has the size of 44 mm..
My question are... fake or not fake.... Best regards: Christian....[IMG][/IMG]

Hi Christian,
Welcome to the forum, unfortunately this EK is a fake. Compare the beading on yours to an original and you will see the difference.

Terrible fake. Leave it alone.

Hi beuwulf,
better pics help.
My first impression is a fake item and is in a one piece die cast.
Cheers

dont let this put you off, there are lots of nice, original iron crosses on dealers sites and hopefully not too exspensive, pick a reliable, trusted dealer and stick with him at least to start with!

Adrian-Very nice way to compare a fake with an orinigal! In this way the differences are more than obvious! Terrible reproduction by the way!
