Show me a Spanish Cross in {silver } with just a hallmark of CEJ in a box and you have a FAKE !!!! THAT IS THE TRUTH !!!

[andrewb]

This has been known since at least 2004. Nothing new.


You can find it all in this great SC thread.

Thank you for your info, though we know something about several years ago.
By the way, as you are experts on this award... Do you know anything about this F marked under the pin in this shample?

[beuwulf]

It stands for FAKE....

[rlimike]

It stands for FAKE....

Now that is funny! ☻

[Gregorio Torres]

Yes, very funny.
But, now, does anybody know anything about?

[cej]

Nice to pull up the info for new collectors.

New collectors coming up need to know this from time to time before throwing money away !!! I still see Fakes for sale on web sites. Some of these fakes are selling for over $ 2,600.

The only way to preserve this hobby is to preserve the originals not the fakes !!

New items are still being found from vets passing away or their family.

How many originals has this hobby lost because collectors didn't know a good one from a bad one.

If Information took until 2004 to know the difference then that shows how fast knowledge is gained.

The preserving of history is important for collectors to have a pride that they have done their part to show future generations what these original artifacts were.

[Tony T-S]

I agree cej. Unless threads like the linked one are made into stickies they are lost and the information along with them.

[Tom B]

IMO Fake

[Gregorio Torres]

I´m begining to be worried.
I´m posting the obverse of the cross which reverse with the "F" was posted before.
Could you tell me anything about and why?
THis one was posted here in this forum several years before and nobody told something about red lights. What happens now?
By the way, in some other thread we discussed about this letters (shamples with some others apart of "F" was posted these days), but somebody didn´t know something about.

That's a rather ambigious post and some added context would really help.

Which are you referring to? Gregorio's? His look to be text-book, original Juncker made to me.

[Gregorio Torres]

Thank you Rich
I don´t know what´s happening there. First of all somebody do a joke about the F, and now this ambiguous replay from Tom B.
For me it´s a text book Juncker too, and before I paid it, several years ago, I posted here the picture and everybody gave the OK. I just was asking about the F on the upper arm.
Here you have another one with the letter F in the same place pictured in the Niemann´s guide number 3

Greg Torres Your Spanish Cross is { REAL }!!

Greg

The [ F ] in yours may be the workers name that made it ! It is a Jewelers mark of pride in his work ! Rare to see but not impossible to understand !!!! Yours is 100% good !!

[Gregorio Torres]

THank you very much, my friend. Now I can sleep well again.

I don't think that is what is it. I have only seen 'F' no other letters (and others without), but the 'F' is always in the same position so I think it was maybe an indicator as to where to place the hinge. That's just an opinion though.
