ERIC Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 It's a variant I've never seen before!Nor have I ! That's one fat-necked birdy, with a clipped tail even! I have serious doubts myself on this one.ERIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil B Posted January 21, 2006 Author Share Posted January 21, 2006 The badge is no longer in evidence on the update page from where it was sold.For those that haven't already noticed,there's a discussion of this same badge at the WA forum:http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/sho...ad.php?t=139317 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I don't like it. I've seen this eagle on complete fakes. Also , doesn't it look to have cast marks around the rim of the reverse of the wreath?BestKurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil B Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 (edited) I realise this is getting a bit tiresome,but this is my last post on the subject....Here's one that I've found on the net.The eagle looks a fair match I think.This is obviously being sold as a reproduction and it's from one of the lower profile German dealers as can be seen.NeilI don't like it. I've seen this eagle on complete fakes. Also , doesn't it look to have cast marks around the rim of the reverse of the wreath?BestKurt Edited January 22, 2006 by Neil B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKeating Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Too funny! Of course Niemann will refund the buyer's money, as long as the buyer plays by Niemann's rules and doesn't make a fuss. Niemann always refunds people when caught out having sold them a clunker. It's a cornerstone of his modus operandi. After all, he is a scrupulously honest fellow. This one must have slipped through unnoticed. After all, he handles literally billions of badges a day so there are always going to be occasional mistakes.
