They are both fakes. (Correction: EK1 is an original, see below)
How can one tell? By learning about the originals. It takes time, but it is worth it

Indeed it takes time to learn and some good old fashion quality books about the subject.

Sorry but the first EKI it's appear a good Otto Schickle Unmarked.

The second "333" is fake for sure

Welcome to the forum Stephan.

Hear are a couple sites I found very useful.

http://www.ek1-dna.de/

https://www.ostmedaille-database.com/

Comparing to know originals, is the best way to check out medals.

Hi Stefan,

333 is a fake, no such think/maker
EK 1 is a good unmarked Otto Schickle

Best regards
