<p>[QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 2549445, member: 59737"]Actually, there really aren't many fakes out there if you're looking for the British, Japanese, or US copies. They are, after all, copies. Most of the copies have May spelled as MAY and not MAI. However, if you're looking for the actual German one made by Karl Goetz, that's much harder to determine. One surefire way to know it's an original Goetz is that the month May is spelled in German as "Mai" and the edge has his name K Goetz stamped into it. I intend to look for these when I move to Germany in a few months. I'll be sure to post any of my findings.</p><p><img src="http://lusitaniamedal.com/images/lusitania_264_edge_cropped.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
