teufelhunde.ret Posted November 11, 2011 Share #426 Posted November 11, 2011 Has been a long while since viewing one of these fakes... They were coming to ebau w/ some regulartity a few years back, recognized it immediately. However did not recognize the seller of these until looking back at the ebay user ID - bingo! The seller has a new name - but selling the same model line of fakes for years under the name "thepengiun" Buyer beware! http://www.ebay.com/itm/USMC-OFFICERS-2-OL...=item4ab0ab867c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skipproo1 Posted December 7, 2011 Share #427 Posted December 7, 2011 I have never seen one of these without an anchor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack's Son Posted December 7, 2011 Share #428 Posted December 7, 2011 It's not USMC, I've looked on the web and don't find anything like it. It's rather cheaply made and not old enough to be an antique pin from colonial days. I'm lost now ?? :think: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I searched the net up and down. Have no idea. skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrapneldude Posted December 7, 2011 Share #430 Posted December 7, 2011 I hope one of that "Heavy Hitter" EGA guys comments here, but I recall seeing emblems of this design listed on eBay, usually in conjunction with other similarly made designs, listed as rare examples or some such, but the consensus among the experts was they were all repro / fantasy pieces. I have not seen that particular design in any other context except as it being sold as an original and that claim being described as dishonest.

kanemono Posted May 4, 2012 Share #435 Posted May 4, 2012 There is a set of reproduction China Marine diamonds for the fur hat for sale on ebay. Here is a picture. I bet they will be soon be showing up with EGA's and listed as real. Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teufelhunde.ret Posted May 4, 2012 Share #436 Posted May 4, 2012 Not all that surprising "NCHS" would start producing them, a good substitution (for those wanting displays) as the "real deal" is so scarce and expensive, they are beyond the reach of the Joe Blow the average collector. He has 6 set @ 97. http://www.ebay.com/itm/350562534660?ssPag...984.m1438.l2649 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmcaviator Posted May 6, 2012 Share #437 Posted May 6, 2012 At least they look nothing like the orginals, and are easy to spot. S/F, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted June 12, 2012 Share #438 Posted June 12, 2012 More junk on eBay bringing insane amounts...the seller doesn't seem to know the reals from fakes in the collection, seems to have just bought a collection... 400303243360 120931305993 400303280177 I emailed the seller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted June 12, 2012 Share #439 Posted June 12, 2012 I'm stunned...finally a seller with integrity! The seller replied that they never knowingly sell fake items as an antiquities dealer, and has removed the auctions and notified the bidders, providing them with a link to this thread so they can learn to avoid fakes! Gets my nomination for dealer of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec Posted January 7, 2013 Share #440 Posted January 7, 2013 Opinions please, EGA is incorrect, but is the shield and wreath alright? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted January 7, 2013 Share #441 Posted January 7, 2013 Images are too blurry to make out the details. My guess off the bat on the wreath is probably not...originals are rather rare,..and clearer/rear images of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brig Posted January 8, 2013 Share #448 Posted January 8, 2013 Unfortunately, I think at best they're Bannerman's...the shields are supposed to have loops rather than prongs.

teufelhunde.ret Posted January 16, 2013 Share #449 Posted January 16, 2013 The seller may - or may not know these emblems are repro's, as they do not state period original, or repro... Buyer beware!
