Favourite Fakes

[Hans N]

The floch on the right , just doesnt compare to the one on the left, even on the hinge, and especially the pin, as ive got original badges of other types with the same ridges machined into them, and the floch doesnt have that quality, but convict if you must. If this one had real guilding i would be skeptical, as someone said floch actually sold originals early on, and then faked the L/14 copied on a supposed original, so there has to be some originals out there. Just an observation in common sense. I believe there were original guilded WB's w/cokebottle pin L/14's

There are mutch more on how to determine a Floch fake then just the pin you know, besides there are no such thing as a original cokebottle pinned L/14 WB... Do a search on floch and you´ll notice that they are discussed multiple times and that they also have a very distinctive tell tale both from the obverse as well from the reverse.
