The Prussian Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Hello gentlemen! Last week I bought this nice badge. I´m not sure, if it´s an original one. To me it looks good, but I´ve read that 99% of those badges are copies. What do you say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 any opinions to this one, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mervyn Mitton Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Looks crisp and the forming is good. I would say nothing wrong with it - however, one caveat - I am not comparing it with a known genuine one. See if you can find one on the Internet.

peter monahan Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 It looks nice and crisp, so if its a copy its a good copy. However, Mervyn is right: good copies need to be side by side with a known original and, often, physically in the same place, as 'feel' - which is really just your mind picking up clues at the subconcious level, I believe - is important too. Sorry not to be more helpful! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spasm Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Here's one but with a slider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardinge Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 The above badge with a slider is correct for an OR cap badge. I believe the top badge posted is an officer collar badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) Hello gentlemen! Thank you for yor opinins. I´m not sure, if my one is an collar badge, because of its size. It´s 5cm. I´drather be saying, it´s another manufacturer. Here are bigger scans Edited November 16, 2012 by The Prussian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wood Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Some units used full sized badges as collar badges, that being said, mine has a slider reverse as well. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I was once told if it was possible to easily bend the badge then it's more than likely a fake. Your one does looks good. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
