Hi,

It's a fake I'm afraid. The pin plate is a dead give away.

Just dug out my Ludendorff pin from the fake/junk box and it is marked m1/73,rzm'ed and has the pinched type of pin holder also. My question is, how hard would it have been for the fakers to put the correct type of pin on these and we would all swear that they are period!!
