Heer Tank Destruction Badges?

Im looking into getting some Tank Destruction Badges (the silver and gold ribbon kind) over the summer and am wondering if anyone has any tips for me to point out fakes? It would be greatly appreciated! TIA and all the best, Jon

Be carerful, most of the PVA's that you see for sale will be copies, including those from reputable dealers . The old copies were fairly easily identified, but the new ones have only got one or two errors in the detail .

Good luck,

Neil

I remember being told that "the key to buying a real tank destruction adge, is that there are no real ones".

A cynical point of view, but one worth bearing in mind! How would it survive un-tampered with, why is it not on a tunic etc.....

Unless you KNOW the provenance be super wary!
