Schlesisches Bewährungsabzeichen 1.Klasse an Schraube / Silesian Eagle 1st class with screw back disk

[Claudio]

Dear forumites,

 

I'd like to read your opinions about this German Silesian Eagle 1st class with a screw back disk on the reverse. I like the front but I have my doubts about the screw back on the reverse.

 

Thank you in advance your kind inputs and comments.

 

Cordially

Sorry. But it's a fake called the "double eye" due to the double line on the left side of the open space of the eye. The eye was always a solid dot on originals. These fakes come both in clam-shell screw-back and pin-back and have been around since the 80s. They often show up in fake LDO boxes.

Yes sadly a fake, though a good one, quality wise.

I came across one in the last year and did some research, too.
