Did you buy this or were you pre-screening?.

The two easiest giveaways as a fake are the uniform thickness of the lettering on the front and the tall (instead of proper round) "C" in "MUNCHEN" on the pin plate.

Here's real lettering:



Yours is the newer version of the fake with better leaves. 1st generation had lines over some of the leaves. I have a page on these on my website here:

Hello there,

An Austrian fake. Look at the enameling background it is a -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- pattern not a ........... pattern as it should be.

Here's an original small Fuess.

Here's another original small Fuess with a little less wear to the letters.



And the back with the round "C" in "MUNCHEN"
