Re: Fake Orders of Glory
Patina is there. The dirt is gone. I thought this is forum. Am I not aloud to ask questions? As for the number, if the number is original, than this is 2nd class variation 3.

Re: Fake Orders of Glory
Nobody says you can't ask questions. People even tried to answer yours as good as they can. I can't imagine why you think differently...

Re: Fake Orders of Glory
Hello! Please have a look to this presumed Glory 2nd class.
I confess having quite some difficulties to distinguish a 2nd class from a doctored 3rd, but this one looks a fake to me. thank you ciao sergio I have to apologize for the photoshopping I did on the pictures. It was the only solution to achieve a compression below 100k with still a reasonable quality and size. |

Re: Fake Orders of Glory
Hi all,
Would love your thoughts on this Order of Glory. Im thinking its a 3rd class that someone has attempted to pass off as a 2nd class at some stage by a bit of alteration.:rolleyes: Any feedback would be great. |

Re: Fake Orders of Glory
Probably right. Is the body "thick" or "thin"?

Re: Fake Orders of Glory
It appears as though a solvent used in the "gold" refinishing has leeched onto the surrounding silver creating that darkened circle of tarnish/discoloration evident around the center. I personally do not like it, and think your assessment accurate.

I think 2nd class in this serial number range is thick. All Glory´s 2nd class after 24.000 have double window border. Is there any space between the tower base and the ribbon? Don´t like the berry´s on the left side. best regards Andreas |

Re: Fake Orders of Glory
Thanks for the feedback guys.:thumbsup
The order is thicker than my Glory 3rd class and has no gap between the tower & the ribbon. |

Re: Fake Orders of Glory
With so little difference between 3rd and 2nd Class I would advise sourcing a 2nd only from a trusted source.
If you see a 2nd online and think "oh cheap, I'll give it a punt" it will usually mean you are getting a tampered with 3rd or a complete fake. Don't get me wrong, there are bargains out there, but not with the popular items on such visual display. If you see a full cavalier set on the auction site for $10, $100, $1000, $10,000 many others have..... and know it is not worth the cash!
