genoa41 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 This type of badge in the pattern solid back is generally accepted as a wartime piece (detlev, weitze) . The pattern hollow back is uncommon . Can we recognised it original ?regardsgiorgio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin W Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Hi Giorgio,the catch on the hollowback badge is postwar IMO.Regards,Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joetauchretter Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Hello, In my opinion this is a post war fake . I am not a fan of the accepted hollow back badge myself , but If I rember correctly that badge was stamped hollow back and by the looks of your pictures I would say this is a cast badge . Also I agree that the catch looks post WWII .Best Regards, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Williamson Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I've seen this type openly offered as fake at shows in the UK, for around ?30.The only hollow back types I would accept as original are the Hymmen type and the Zimmermann type.

Gordon Williamson Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Perfect . And the Schickle type showed at TH site sometime ago ?The type you refer to as Schickle is what I mean by Zimmermann. We don't know for sure who made the hollow one, - could be Zimmermann, Schickle or Mayer, but you are correct, the hinge is similar to the type attributed to Schickle so could well be from that firm.
