Martin W Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 (edited) Hi Jack, i agree the photo's could be better,but from what i see,i am not too happy with this one.The detail looks weak and i think it is probably a postwar copy. All of the original FLL CA badges i have seen have a very distinctive die characteristic. It is is the form of a small cicular indentation,found at the bottom of the gun housing.It can be see quite clearly on the picture below. It appears to be there on your badge but very weak in detail,suggesting to me it is a cast copy? Regards,Martin.

RichardT Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Jack, I have to agree with Martin. The badge really lacks the detail of an original. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Williamson Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I agree, looks very much like a casting, particularly the very coarse finish on the reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer Jager Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 I must agree with all of you, that it is a casting bad quality badge. But the catch and hinge looked quite good for me. It isn't my badge, and I am glad that I didn't buy it. Sorry for my English but it isn't my native language. Thanks for help. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
