Here is the latest fake Oakleaves with Swords to hit the market. In fairness I should say that the guy who is selling these is selling them as fakes.
They are very nicely die struck in solid silver, the edge silhouette nicely cut away, no excess "flashing". Double sided swords. Nice matt silver frosting. Nice thin section just like the real ones. Nice stippling to the field of the leaves
Fortunately the die characteristics do not match either Juncker. Meybauer or Godet exactly as to the shape of the leafs etc, but its pretty close.
An ideal space filler in fact, but its only a matter of time before some are aged up and passed off as real.
The reflection from the light in the scanner makes these look a lot more "glittery" than they really are. "In the flesh" they look real nice.
