Claudius Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 'bout 550 quid. That's the second naval badge I've had to debase out of my collection. Both I thought were careful purchases with established dealers. Ruddy bad luck I'd say.Thank you for your assessment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My advice read as much as you can, study the pictures on here of real and suspect ones. Handle as many as you can ,go with gut instinct if your brain is trying to convince you its wrong chances are it is.Quality and workmanship tends to be superior on the genuine article.If in at all doubt ask !! yet again it boils down to opinion and even experts can be wrong at times ! but as always it is your money your call and personal satisfaction is what it comes down to .. all the bestSteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferg1 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Hi Claudius,here are some original Schaper examples, I feel bad giving you the bad news about your badge, believe me I have been there too many years ago. Don't let it put you off, we all learn the hard way !!! It's just infuriating not being able to nail the B**tards who flog this bad stuff.Ferg1.
