Hello,

Sorry but I don't like this piece. It may be that the topper itself is a poorly-executed casting from an original topper, or that someone has tried to repaint/refinish the topper and did such an amateurish job of it that it spoils the original details. But in any event, I wouldn't want this piece for my collection.

Hi, ok, thanks for your feedback. Not in my collection, just a chance to buy it.
I don't like the colour as well, but I thought it might be original repainted piece. So you think it's complete fake?

Aby other opinions regarding originality?

Thanks on advance

From these photos I can't tell whether it's a "complete fake" or if someone gave an original piece a very sloppy paint-job. But it appears that the details of the 1914 EK1 are muddy and indistinct, and that is an indication of a recast copy.
