Opinions on EK2 from a grouping :)

[Robert P.]

Robert, I think you expressed our opinions already very well
There are some good threads on these.
But you forgot the most funny mm24 EK1.

Can you post a photo? I haven't seen it.

[Robert P.]

Robert, didn't we have a discusison about those mm 113 some time last year.
I think I had one my self, but returned it to Fugpaw.
I think he still has it.
But that one was heavely flawed on the left side of the 6 o'clock arm.

Yes sir,

I remember that. It was when we first IDed this forgery. The maker marks were so close it stumped me until I did a side by side.

Luud, you're pulling my leg, right? That one's original.

That's the same stinkin' core and frame as Mike's fake, isn't it?

Yes, that is correct.
And I got some very insulting messages.
The nicest one was that I didn't know what I was talking about.

I wouldn't dare

its part of a small grouping from a dealer that arrived today

&

well lets see what happens when i tell the dealer his guarenteed original ek2 is infact a fake...

May I ask.. who is that dealer?

[Robert P.]

Don't tell him you think it's a fake. You only ask for an argument, and a possible 'goodbye forever' from him. Just say you are not personally happy with it, and stay on those grounds, friendly and all, respectful.

I agree that it is the best way and so you get the best cooperation from him without getting into an argument!

Its an online dealer http://www.a2zmilitarycollectables.co.uk they have very little in the way of german items, so i believe the dealer isnt trying a fast one, quote from the grouping:

''WW2 German Medal Group to Otto Schimd - KIA 1944 WW2 German medal groups are really not my thing, but I purchased this group of items from an estate clearance in October of last year.''

The black wound badge has turned out to be a recent repro aswell, shame as the photos are quite nice, link to photos http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=348159

first time ive bought from an online dealer really if you exclude lakesidetrader & simplydaggers not a great start

[evilmike]

Good news, the dealer was very professional, i'd certainly keep an eye out on the website in the future if anything comes up, unfortunately this time there on the way back but they'll be more in the future iam sure

Thanks once again for your help everyone
Mike
