$1000 is a lot of money for fakes nearly as bad as mine , I paid £400 from a so called reputable dealer , who I have now found out about getting away for years selling me fakes until I started learning
I would like to hear some other opinions on these.

I just looked at the ones John is selling (sold) and they are nothing alike when it comes to the pins, his are crimped, not soldered, just as they ought to be, the ones on the estand are also nowhere near as crisp and detailed as Johns are.
Like I said, I hate to throw stones at someone elses stuff but....
Best regards,

Eric, Guys:
I'm sorry I'm getting to this posting so late! I just noticed it last night & went into my photo files in the computer & pulled-up the "Plates" being discussed & found that they are infact, "crimped" on their backs & not 'soldered' as I think I typed in the description.
I also referred to "Collectors Militaria" & found the "Plates" in his 'Archives' & they are the same with the construction & view on the front. I've added a couple of more photos here now to show you the 'prongs' on the backs of my "Plates" - They "are" crimped & not 'soldered'. The area where the pin exits the base isn't 'cleaned-off' (removing the excess metal), as much as what shows on other "Plates" you see.
The maker logo is also fine. "JFS 42" - "JFS 43" are set where they should be & match against those shown on the above mentioned website. I didn't grab any photos of Bill's site because it's not right to 'snatch without permission' & I'm responding to this thread 'Fast' being that I only noticed it last night while looking around on here.
No one 'notified' me let me know that an item of mine was in question. If they had of I would have responded promptly & offered more photos at the time.
If, after you investigate the 'new' info & still feel that the "Plates" I have are not convincing, then PM me & put the 'reasons/findings' in here as well & I'll cancel the sale of the "Plates" & that will close this matter without any bad feelings.
Ron.
