        2nd one is an original hollow brass silvered RK. #3 is a a hollow zinc by Karneth too. The 1st one looks like an old fake, but a good fake.

          All three are fine originals.

          Maker of the first one has yet to be discovered. Same maker was responsible for the chrome 4 rivet GAB. Not the most attractive GAB but 100% ok!

          The first Karneth is clearly a tombak piece. The other one looks like a zinker indeed because of the pitting. The red discoloring on the other hand make me think it would have been tombak as well.
          Kind regards,
          Giel

              With regards to the 1st one, I always thought that wreath was a "giveaway", but if Giel says it's legit, it probably is. Maybe I'm thinking of another "thicker" fake here. I remember waaayy back connecting this wreath to a known fake, but can't place it right now. Anyone know it?

                I think you are refering to the JFS marked fake...

                  Yes. Thanks Giel. The infamous JFS fake has a wreath very similar to the original one below. Different set-up and eagle on the fake...

                        Probably the one in post 48 is what you were thinking of Ken, as Giel already mentioned

                        Based on the first example shown in this thread
