feldehrenzeichen hamburg; Fake?

[Gefreiter otto]

Hello this piece is from a friend and we think it is false.

Could someone help us?

Thanks.

Hi,

Based on the not so great pics, I tend to agree. The reverse looks soft and there appears to be a strange feature on the reverse lower starburst arm (as pictured, reverse left if oriented normally). The rivets and hinge/pin don't look right, nor does the glitzy gold finish on the reverse.

Better pics may tell a different story though.

Regards

Mike
