        In my opinion, a well made reproduction. The biggest red flag is the modern alloy the wreath and eagle are made of, rather than zink used with originals. Also, the hardware is not typical of Osang and the wreath and rivets are close, but not exactly correct for Osang. The faker knew what an origianl looked like and tried to mimic the look, but didn't get it quite right IMO.

          Hi guys,

          To emphasize my earlier point, here are a few more of this same fake, carrying fake maker marks. The first one is BSW marked, and the 2nd is Juncker marked. All 3 of these fakes have the exact same eagle and wreath design (same exact die), and it is also not found on originals.
