Novice Collector - EKI help wanted please :)

[Simno]

Hello there,
I'm new to the world of Third Reich awards collecting and I'd really appreciate an opinion or two on this EKI that I've been offered for sale as I don't know myself how to tell a clever fake from the real deal: Could anyone give me their thoughts on this piece?






Many thanks in advance,
Si

return it if you can

Thank you for the warning - thankfully I hadn't made a commitment on it yet - so my money is safe. I am looking for a genuine EK1 with some frosting left to it - pin back not screw back for an affordable price if anyone can help me?!

Save your money and look at the estand or through dealers sites, you might want to check out Daniel's (schönbeck) site for example, he has a few nice examples there, unfortunately the £/€ exchange rate doesn't do us Brits many favours when looking for a good deal.
