Not a good one in my opinion. Lettering and numbering is incorrect.

**Mike P.** · 03-10-2008, 10:36 AM

I agree Erich ..I know he wants to sell it but, I hate seeing anyone stuck with a repro .

**ErichS** · 03-10-2008, 11:29 AM

I hope the seller will read this thread and remove it.

**Mike P.** · 03-10-2008, 12:00 PM

Everyone should keep an eye open for serial # 33300 in case it turns up again years from now.
Too bad we don't have a Data Base or List with known Repro #'s to watch for.

Yes, I'm not even a student of this badge and I see a remarkable difference in the two. Thank you for this site.

This is the best known fake of the Fuess Golden Party badge. There is no doubt: It´s a copy.

No fire glit gold finish or remains thereof on this bad boy. Always a good sign on an original IMO,

BTW: Good job Mike P.

Nice catch Mike.

Although heartbreaking to the vendor, looking after each other on estand is why I enjoy these forums so much. (Plus I learn a lot from other members)

Hello all,

I believe it originally came from this site:

http://www.ekmilitaria.com.au/

Then go into the products page. One thing that I noticed, and it is just a feeling; everything on the site is super expensive, but the GPB is not, and that makes me wonder.

I hope he can get his money back on it because ..it's going to be a lot harder for someone to "Turn it" now that that serial number is known.
I wonder when and where we'll see it next ?

Ron is right about the finish ...all of these "Fuess Fakes" (this pattern)seem have that same dull look to them.
I always liked that Las Vegas glitzy Gold finish the fakes use to have ..you could spot them from across the room

**Wim Vangossum** · 03-10-2008, 02:24 PM

Not good! Their is one good thing on the GPB in general: It is just made by two manufactures! Once you know the originals you wil not fooled by a fake

Regards, Theo

Hello Everyone,

Well, as for the sake of the badge, i will remove it as you have already discussed it. Yes, at the moment its not in my hand, but who owns it is a freind of mine, and before I had a few of his stuff put out for sale here, and I dont think there is anything wrong in that, and I also gave his email address too anyway I did not know this wasn`t right, in that case I wouldn`t have put it out.

All the best.

**Mike P.** · 03-10-2008, 03:46 PM

Thanks for explaining and for removing it from the "Table" ..and no one is blaming you because it is an easy mistake to make , we know it was not intentional.

As I mentioned before , maybe your friend can kick it back to where he bought it ...hmmm , that would make it "Fuess-Ball" ..always wondered where that came from

(ok , no more bad jokes)

Seriously though ..I hope your friend can get his money back.

I bet that would still sell for $50 or more to a Collector who needs a display GPB to pin on a Tunic. I'm afraid to pin an original on when I do a public display ...too easy for someone to lift it and walk away.

Selling on the E Stand an item that is not yours is expressly against the rules and is punishable by being expelled from the forum.

READ THE E STAND RULES PLEASE.

Cheers, Ade.
