Opinions on RK lazy 2

[Andy B.]

Hello All,
I've researched this one and am curious about it. I see some things I like and others I don't. Since I'm not any sort of expert on these, I thought I'd elicit some other opinions.

Hi

Sorry but this KC fake,not period Juncker piece

Is this a Latvian fake? All very symmetrical. A very nice filler at the right very low price, but not a Junker that's for sure.

Fellow KC Enthusiasts-

When you reply to a post and you express your opinion on the originality of a Knight's Cross, would it be possible to ask that you expand your comments to support your position? I am not disputing any opinions, I am asking only that you share your observations which lead to your conclusion. By including these details, we will all benefit from your knowledge. Simply saying "it's fake" lacks specificity, thus benefits no one.

Thanks in advance for accepting my comments in the spirit for which they are intended.

I would like to see better photos of the 800 mark on the reverse. Also the 2 looks to large and to close to the silver marking. Tom

Go to the pinned thread with RK photo database, have a look at the Lazy 2 examples photographed and you will see that the beading etc don't match with this cross. Not even close.

Thank you very much for the replies. I was leaning towards being bad, I just wanted to confirm my suspicions.

(to write a novel here everytime a fake is shown, would take all your time! What´s the purpose of all the pinned threads, if you don´t use them?)
