Any chance this one is the real version ?

Thanks

I am not a tinnie collector. To my inexperienced eye, this looks pretty good. How about educating me as to exactly why this is a fake. If anything, I would have thought of it as a fantasy piece.

How about a little help?

It's been said for a while now that if your pin has a coffin shaped pin holder, then it is a fake!

Hello All,
Yes, I agree with Frederic, try to avoid badges with that shape pin holder, notice the difference with these,

Is that a 100% all of the time truism ?

Does any one own a real version of one of these that can be posted ?

Thanks

It's indeed a fake. Not only is the pin incorrect but so are many of the details of the tinnie itself.

Sorry,
Erich

I actually looked through those posts a few days ago. The problem is the first thread (the one you provided) look like yet another fake. Then that thread had a thread referenced which showed some more fakes, and just the front of a real one.

What I am asking is for a full front and back of the real one. Especially since the coffin pin in the back is suppose to be one of the major identifying points.

Thanks

John,

Is the picture of the 10 set all real, or all fake ?

Do you have a photo of the back of a real one ?

Thanks
Pat

Also note that the top one posted by Mloppkit is also a fake. (post 5) this badge was not produced with the runes. I also have doubts about the one below as well, but there nothing that I can say with 100% certainty on this badge.

Pat,

The picture of 10 is my collection and all are absolutely 100% authentic.

By the way, I believe that your tinnie, the one that began this thread is authentic however, the pin has been replaced with a contemporary piece.
