Fake Gold Wound Badges

Okay, this first one... too bright and the back is a dead giveaway:

[attachmentid=55110]

Okay, this one fooled me for a long time and seems I'm not the only one to fall for this type:

[attachmentid=55111]

[attachmentid=55112]

[attachmentid=55113]

Hi Tony,

Seems L/14's are well known fakes as confirmed by several members in my original Wound Badge collection post:

Luckily I don't have much in it or any of the other fakes or copies I have. Many were either gifts, part of bulk deals more or less as throw in's or were dirt cheap.

Anyhow I hope by posting these (mine and those belonging to others) that we're able to help newer collectors who would otherwise stumble and lose a bundle.

Thanks,

Dan

It is a fake and another like it was the fake L63.I had some other pictures of fakes but lost them.

I'm so happy I don't collect 3rd Reich.

Nothing to worry about as long as you make sure by posting on a respectable forum for opinions before you buy. I repeat "respectable"
