Here's a good set of #1 Style Godet oakleaves from Detlev's good/bad of the week. I can provide better photos of this one if necessary. This set belonged to Heinrich Paepcke.Attached FilesLast edited by Brian S; 03-20-2004, 07:39 PM.

Could be the angle of the back George. I'm seeing quite a few die characteristics on the obverse to make me think it came from the original die.
Billy, the '21' did come later but did it come before/after/during the striking of first patterns? I didn't see any oaks w/provenance in 1st Pattern that showed '21'. Not sure...
For me it's still the original question, "Stike or restrike?"Attached Files

...and the issue now for a potential buyer and the owner, is an unfounded rumour ruining the possibilities of this piece in the minds of collectors? Did Klietmann restrike these or a later owner of the dies restrike?
Or, is there an issue?
I have a very expensive dagger with a rumour attached to it. In the minds of some, Johnson and Angolia, it's literally textbook, indeed, their own textbooks. But in the minds of others, it's stigmatized by a rumour.
So how do you seperate fact from fiction?
Wait for a miracle like the Otto Schickle catalog to prove a Condor Legion Tank Badge?
