Hi Lew, the test was done by a local jeweler using an acid test. No visible marks. rgds

Thanks again, Lew. Your arguments are logical. We can think that my exemplar used a frontal stamp that was copied from one rare Godet, and this post-war "maker" decided to create a new back stamp based on the negative frontal stamp. Well, at least my exemplar seems to be a rare copy BTW, just discovered another strange aspect, the material, it is silver (~800 tested), with gold plating. rgds Arend

The mentioned Godet (bottom right), the (main) difference is back, which is a radial pattern. The stamp is not so sharp too:

Again, need first, to learn more. Thank you all!

HI, found the same frontal pattern: Imperial Germany, Kaiser Reich, WWI, Wilhelm I and Wilhelm II According to the site, it is referenced in the " Detlev Niemann's price guide book".

Thank you, for the references. Will try to go deeper.

I can not understand, why to fake using a complicated expensive double-face press (two molds), instead, the cheap back flat and not follow the standard common patterns for creating credibility. Seems unlogical. rgds I got this one from a family lot (from Hamburg), with other personal stuff (not from a collector or seller).

Thank you Lew, for some reason I could not attached the PICs directly.

Hi, I am looking forward to hearing your views about this badge. Thank you! Arend navy1.jfif navy2.jfif

Hi, I am looking to identify the epaulette from a Prussian soldier statue. It seems to be a F.S.A. monogramm. Thank you!
