A few stirnpanzers...

I did some checking, all the roads to Belgium are flooded at the moment, I guess the truck stays home after all
 
Regarding the foto....and probably half of that pile has survived to be put up on our modern day Ebay!

Can you tell me if all of them have maker marks or stamping on them? Or are any of them unmarked? I don't really know much about them and wondered how you could tell a real one from a fake one. Cheers.
 
Indeed great pictures gentlemen!

Normally all Stirnpanzer and Grabenpanzer have markings but some originals without markings do excist. How to know an original from a reproduction? That's not easy to answer and impossible to explain without writing an article... but best is to study the subject before you buy one.

May be anecdotal, but the originals were hardened and have a distinct RING when held by a string and tapped. The example here came out of a well in France and has the "ring".
 
what do you gents think of this one?
