What style are you most keen on? RZM, flatwire or Bevo like?

Here's my much prized "BeVo-like" Prinz Eugen for you:

Sorry Korbius but that Prinz Eugen is a bad fake, the lettering is terribly formed.

For interest sake Relics of the Reich has got pictured a previously sold flatwire example:

How can you spot it if its a repro, and btw the letters aren't silver thread.
