German eagle orders fake on the web

[marisca lrommel]

Put attention to the fakes which, upon the order of the German Eagle in different internet stores.

Note that I've detected on the page http://www.milshop.de

First example:

Medal bar with three medals, including the order of the Eagle German of third class with swords

See heads of Eagles, the tip of the wings, the feathers of the breast of the Eagle, swasticas...etc. This Medal bar is on sale as original and that includes other two original medals to mislead. Very careful!

Another fake...in this case is a 4Rd German Eagle Order...
Good quality enamels, good quality in the hinge and back catching, marking credible, but the heads of the Eagles clearly say that we are in front of a fake

Note the differences: The eagles, the swastica, the needle, the rivet...

Another example on milshop.de

In this case, a Bronce German Eagle Order Medal.

The bronze medal was authorized in the regulation of 1943.

At the time the design of the medal changed and medals show the legend "DEUTSCHE VERDIENSTMEDAILLE" with Latin characters, therefore never existed bronze medal version with legend in Gothic characters such as the one in this example.

Apart from this, the Eagles and swasticas of the medal are totally different, looking more ducks than Eagles

The diferences of this medal

[marisca lrommel]

In this example, used the same design with those Eagles that look like ducks but version silver medal and to make it look original, and include an original award certificate of this medal... the "Urkunde" is original but the medal is a fake

Medal bar with three medals, including the order of the Eagle German of third class with swords

Note the second medal bar which is sold in the e-stand of this forum...

http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=674642

is the same medal bar that the fake milshop, however that there is a sale in the e-stand is 100% original and in the milshop have changed the Medal of the annexation of Austria by the order of the Eagle German false to taking advantage of the resemblance of the two medals ribbons to give more value to the medal bar

Nice Catch

Great catch with an eagle eye. (Pun intended)
Through the years, Reprofiteers still cannot match the overall Quality to Detail on most German High-End Awards. (Or of lesser ones, for that matter) To Date it becomes apparent that they endlessly try their hand at making a decent looking Eagle and more important their failure to capture in technique a process to turn out an Eagles Head that doesn't resemble a Chicken, Duck, Platypus or mythic creature from antiquity.

In militaria321 there is another fake which has even wanted to copy the brand of manufacturer in the profile of the Medal, but apart from the difference in the Eagles, the marking is clear that it is false on sale

The fake eagles and maker mark

A comparation

[marisca lrommel]

Sometimes we talk about fakes and others speak of copies... and in this case, talk about the best copy I've seen so far.

Another images of this copy.

The 3St German Eagle Order has excellent proportions, their Eagles and swastikas have the correct form, and enamel is OK... has no markings, tape is of the so-called "Spanish manufacturing" of the 1950s and the Dowitcher has a correct form.

Failures are poor completion of enamel and too bright gilding, otherwise is a great copy. It is sold in Spain for € 300
