Fake S/N "Dublikat"
Title says it all. The base medal is 100% genuine, however the serial number was added to increase its premium for sale.
A tendency is for forgers to repeat digits or double use a "6" and invert it for a "9" to reduce the number of suspect digits and make their job easier. Here you have the repeating "1" and "4". |

Paul,
Yes, the digits do not look quite right. One has to be careful though with repeat digits; it happens that there are original ones :D Marc |
