Is this real or fake?

Looks like a crude fake.

I have notified both Fruhwald and Numisbids that the item is fake and have asked them to remove it from the auction.

I consider this piece fake, it's a well known fake that often passes the radars and end up in some of the collection where people usually pay a lot attention. Don't be surprised if you see this one graded as well. While it is possible that this is indeed a variety (position of the letters and some other details are most obvious) I highly doubt it as it's not well executed. It's always in similar grade and details… Reviving this thread just for awareness…
