Thanks man, I have had a difficult time learning how to spot fakes because some are very good fakes and almost every war related item is faked leading to lots of research having to be done. Since im a newer collector I haven't invested in reference books because they are a lot of money and im on a small budget but these videos help especially with making online purchases and auctions. I've spotted a few fakes already and have learned to look for shoddy craftsmanship such as the pins and catches. Please keep making videos like this it brings a great service to the collecting community especially the younger inexperienced members.
Thanks for this video good sir. l got "Floched" many years ago for the tume of about $100 early 1990's for an EK l cuz the price was good and always had my sispicions and your video proves it, BUT thanks to your great 4-1-1 l won't be "fooled" again l have kept mine to testify never again! l use mine now as a learning instrument. Yeah l got "taken" but l learned a valuable lesson. l ever see one again. taking your afvice to put it back down and walk away.
Did glob have a mail order catalogue? I know most costume grade embroidery is coming out of Pakistan right now. Not sure about any high end medals that are better than Flochs…most of the stuff is really bad cast junk from eastern Europe…supposedly
@@smgwarrelics Hello - I have been looking at computer information. I did mail away for a WW1 Lubeck cross and it looked good - nice enamel - the only real fault was that the ring was just a little too thick.
Sorry bud, i don’t keep the fake around long and i don’t always have a proper one to compare too. If i waited for that, the videos would never get made.

Any market for USSR stuff?
Cold war stuff is dirt cheap. ww2 and earlier can be valuable.
