It was rapported as a fake yesterday but is still up there.

The seller has sold this Deschlersohn´s before, here is one he sold 2 weeks ago.

I've seen a couple of these floating around on auction sites in the past and they have been around for about 4 or 5 years. They are a terrible attempt at a fake.

Here is an amusing thread from another forum where one of these fakes pretending to be an 1870 EKI is discussed:

Resch & Sohn....really?

Tradera is now full of fakes, people are paying up to 200 euros for fake SS rings, 100 euros for fake SS buckles, 150 euros for Adolf Hitler ashtrays...

No wonder its been an explosion in fakes added there......

I used to mail the bidders in hope to save their money, but mostly i got the answer "fake? dude, it has german stamps on it, i know its original" So i just dont bother anymore...

If you can traslate the description, do it :-)

They only turn off the auction if you provide for example a diskussion from a forum on that perticular item. Ive been on the phone with them about this issue and they say they are no experts in this field.

Provide link to this one and it will dissapear in 2 hours.

That is a funny one.

A quick second look one sees that is says 'SILVER' and not 'SILBER'? If that is not a 'RED' flag even to the newest of collectors I do not know what is?

Nope, it has now been 8 hours and its still up. Maybe tradera just dont give a damn anymore.
