The enamel wappen of Bavarian Generals have been faked. How do you tell? I have been told that if the crown of the upper left lion touches the border it is a bad sign.. Dave knew something but I don't know what.
Here is a real odd Bavarian General.
Tarnished silver, real thin, prongs, and I cannot btell how new the solder is. Not dark.
The crown DOES touch (top red arrow).
The "bar" and edges are silver....never seen this (bottom arrow).
My wappen in gold is shown for comparison. Crown does not touch and gold "bar".
But get a load of this. Interior support disk is huge and round. There is a monagrammed plug in the spike hole.
This came from a very reputable source. Any thoughts? Any idea on the monogram?
