        Greetings Jeff,


        Heer Para's can be tricky for sure with so many well done fakes. I don't care for this example; the points that jump off the page for me when I first looked at it were the catch, rivets, wings on the national eagle ( looks like batman wings from the reverse), makers mark, finish.Well ........ I guess I see alot that I don't care for.

        Cheers,
        Joe

          Hi Jeff,

          As the others pointed out, nothing ok there. The totally wrong eagleĀ“s head (on the diving eagle) is also another good reference point to easily detect this type fake.
          Cheers, Frank

            I am not a collector of these and I suspected as well. Thanks for the help. I willl encourage my friend to join up. When I first joined, I shed a lot of tears on my fakes, but now am much wiser.
