Fantasy pieces ...

[Matthieu]

Since posts are somewhat on the low side lately, I decided to do something "fun" .....

So, gentlemen, here you can post all the fantasy and crappy made 57ers you can find across the World Wide Web .
I hope this will be a fun thread ( and suitable for info as to what NOT to buy ).

I'll start off with this DKiG with diamonds off eBay ( where else ).

And another priceless eBay find ... High Sees Fleet Badge with diamonds .

Ebay is full with those:

How about this pretzel mit brillianten?

Nice one Mike,

But it is also very funny to see how fakes are being converted and modified to fool the collectors of 57 items.

It is not news that fakes are being denazified.
But when I saw an RSS badge with hardware that I never saw on a RSS badge I had to look twice before I noticed why I got a very weird feeling.

Now that's an interesting badge!

Reichsadler but no swastika. The faker can't make up his mind to make a TR piece or a 57er!
