I have picked them up here and there. Mostly from Ebay. One cross used to be in my own collection.

Cheers.

fake RKs

Can this fake RK be bought somewhere for a price of a repro, or are they being sold only as "orginals"? I'm looking for a good repro of the RK and this latvian RK seems like a good idea for a reasonable price ( I hope)...

regards,
Mark

Thank you for sharing such information, it getting harder every day

Peter,

You can add the DKiS that Simon posted. It's straight out of Latvia, as is the DKiG you posted earlier.

These have been coming out for a few years and some have inscriptions on the back. Easily recognizable, they are all identical on the obverse and the two variations I have seen on the reverse are set ups for Zimmerman and Godet. I saw one of these suckers go for over $800 USD about 4 years ago.

I like these better than many originals. They're beautifully done; but too perfect due to the laser cutting. All that's lacking is good frosting. Good job Peter.

Here's another Latvia fake of a Godet.

[A c h t u n g !]

There is also something about the shape of the KC and loop that is very slight yet noticeable at least to those who have seen and held original crosses.Many people despise fake anything.These were made to decieve which is too bad because, if they were sold as repros to use for display on a mannequin they are decently made though not like any original and just visually like a movie prop.

Initially they were all sold by a Latvian maker clearly marked as reproductions on eBay. I know it as a fact as I bought his DK and KC directly from him (still have it). The maker/seller is a very nice and honest person.
