Gordon Williamson Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Definite fake. The pitting marks all over the surface from the low-tech casting process are a dead giveaway. Hinge and retaining hook are all wrong too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Tempest Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share Posted August 7, 2010 Thank you Gordon, and I'd also like to take this opportunity to let you know I have several of your books :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

all1knew Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Troy, I suggest you take a look at some of the authentic badges here: http://wehrmacht-awards.com/war_badges/kriegsmarine/auxiliary_cruiser_badge.htm This is just a small sample for comparison but surely you can see a degree of quality differences in the craftsmanship.
