Gordon Williamson Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Schwerin Badges IMHO are not always the best, but their HSF takes a lot of beating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave B Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 (edited) Very,very nice Gordon!Could you have a look at this Schwerin HSF please mate,I am slightly unsure about it.The left bridge window is not as well formed as the other four,I think the repros are totally missing the window??. I'm sure I have read that this poorly formed window irregularity is a trait on some HSF's made by Schwerin?CheersDave[attachmentid=950]reverse[attachmentid=951] Edited April 28, 2005 by Dave B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Williamson Posted April 28, 2005 Author Share Posted April 28, 2005 Dave,There are a few subtle die features on your badge that I'd expect to see on a genuine Schwerin badge but have been missing on the high end fakes, so I reckon yours is OK.

Nick Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 This one I have always taken to be a fake. There is a feint lettering to the reverse f.o. I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Williamson Posted May 1, 2005 Author Share Posted May 1, 2005 (edited) Michel,Sadly, the exterior of the case is not so nice and has some damage. I still like it though as they are very very hard to find !Nick,I'm pretty certain the one you show is a fake. Probably a casting taken from a genuine fo badge as the "master". The hinge block is a major give away. Edited May 1, 2005 by Gordon Williamson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus H Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Beautiful box Gordon and rather like, 'rocking horse $$$$'.This RS&S came in a packet, found in a nice large retailors box......which could have been related the badge in association only (probably had lots of goodies in there at one time) or not, we'll never know for sure.

Guest Darrell Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 (edited) Sorry to be a Forum Hopper, but I'm quite sure not all here visit WAF. Anyway. I went and took a few more pictures of the HSF that i showed above. Please keep note that the above two pictures were taken with a scanner.*****************Hi all ... just to follow up on scanner vs. Digital Pictures ... take a look at the obverse that I took a nice 7MP shot of today. Hard to believe its the same badge huh?It really is stunning up close in hand Edited October 19, 2005 by Darrell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
