Sorry, it's a fake. I was already discussed in July 2002. Here's the picture of the one in question at that time (one piece brass), same numerals.<!-- END TEMPLATE: navbar_link -->
As others have said this one is definitely no good, the numbers look very ungerman, never seen numerals like this on original pieces, same goes for the maker’s mark. On originals the pin should never sit so high. Take this one out to the firing range Dave, that’s about all it is good for. <O</O
It's absolutely, definitely bad. This one-piece brass/tombak L/17 marked cross with the very low relief date and "round 3" has been around for a long while. I agree, put it out of it's misery, shoot it!
