UBB.threads Forums General Interest Collector's Showcase Fake Eichhorn

Last year, upon my return from a visit to Janos of this forum in Hungary, I showed pics of a fake Eichhorn that was amazingly close to the Allach Eichhorn. The major difference as we discussed then was in the eyes. Well, it seems that the fakers read our thread and seem to have corrected this 'give'. I picked up, thanks to Janos again, a new version of the fake.

For that reason, I will show pics of the new fake but will only discuss the shortcomings of this fake via PM.

These are so good that only expert in hand inspection by someone who has written a book is required.

First of all, I will show you pics of the three squirrels, they are, left to right, the fake, the original and the fake.

The second picture is of the same three. Lets call them the Fat Cow Fake and the Google Eye Fake. Note the neat use of almost original Eickhorn tags to add authenticity to these fraudulent pieces.
