fo high seas fleet: marked catch

[mrg]

Hi Darrell there are a lot of differences between Kurskuss award and the award shown in Tuckers book. Kurskuss award has just to many differences, whilst the one in Tuckers book are more slight, and may be explained easier. Must say though i have never encountered this variant before. Sometimes with fakes expecially when done privately only a few examples ever appear on the market. Maybe its one to be cautious of ? All the best.

Yes. IMO the FO HSF shown here is definitely a fake copied from an original. I think it might be the same makers as this fake F&R PAB.

Notice the similarities in the material, the hinge and the catch.
