Helmut has posted a Fuess GPB on his website as a recent aquisition, under #150409. The obverse is identical to the so-called "Austrian fakes" where the "H" and "I" have a full extended letter to the bottom, as opposed to the originals that are spindily at the bottom. The reverse has the proper maker mark, with the letter "C" in Munchen, the proper size and the mark is slightly off center as it should be. The Party numbers are not repetitive as in the Austrian repros.
How is this possible? A reproduction obverse with an original reverse? Am I mistaken guys? Any comments?
