Opinions needed on 2 EKI's

[peterwyndavies]

I would be grateful for opinions on these 2 EKI's. The first is boxed, looks like it might be a modern box and is unmarked. The second is marked 100 under the pin. I am afraid that these are the only pics that I have, but they may be enough to form an opinion. I attach some pics.
Thanks,
Peter.

Thanks Streptile and Andy. I will give them a miss. As a matter of interest, what are the most obvious characteristics that mark them as reproductions?
Thanks,
Peter.

The second one the year number looks really weird the first one is more convincing...

The pin and the date are the biggest give away on these fakes....

Thanks Ben,
The great thing about this forum is that if you put things up for discussion before purchasing them, then as in this case, I have not spent money on a fake. I am very grateful to people like youself and the others who have been kind enough to comment in this thread and so helped to prevent me wasting my money.
Thanks,
Peter.
