I can spot a fake a MILE away....

If you have ever said this, then THIS is the challenge for YOU! A fellow inhertited a bunch of German medals (or so he says) and he is crappy at taking digital pictures. However, these photos are all I have to judge the originality of these medals. Will the experts please take a look and tell me what you think?

Hi,

Based solely on the shocking pics, I don't see anything obviously wrong with any of them at this stage.

Regards

It probably shows my limited knowledge in the area of medals and awards, but I don't ever remember seeing rusty pins before. This worried me, but because they are about the only visible feature in the pictures and nobody raised a red flag it makes me feel better. If I get any more (or better) pictures I'll post them.

Thank you very much gentlemen!

yeah- I can't tell without touching them, but the EK2 I would definetly go for.

Based on the bad pics, I'd say the EKs are ok.

The EK1 appears to be a BH Mayer.

The first bronze PAB looks like a S&L

[KNIGHTSCROSS]

looks like he shot the pics with a bad camera phone, if they are the real deal, he's done them a great injustice!

nothing wrong with the gab

I cant judge from the pictures, but sellers with bad pictures always give me a bad feeling
i even can make better pictures with my standard mobile phone...

[Ian Lim]

the back pin and hinge of the badges look good, crosses look good, in fact everything looks good despite the terrible pictures!

I would take the gamble

Hello all,

I would have also gone on these images.

The PAB looks good as does the EK_1 and if the price was right......
