Destroyer Badge

Hello,
This is an old fake, if you used the search engine several of these will pop up.

Fake for sure.

There are no known, original hollow-back Destroyer Badges. Here are two other fakes made from the same dies but with variations in the attachment hardware.

Best regards,

Nice. Thanks Tom.

The hollow Destroyer is based upon the Schickle Destroyer as shown here. Another fake hollow badge is the U-Boat based upon the "5-feather" zincer discussed here.
