Freikorps Lutzow badge

Hello,
what do you think about this badge?
Good? Fake?
I'm not convinced by the serial number and by the maker's mark...

Hi Mario,

I like it . It matches the one in Detlef Niemans Catalogue. What are your doubts?

best,
Gerd

I have two of these and have seen a couple more. One of mine is nearly identical, with stamped number on the back of the crown and flat, tapered pin. However, this is the first I've seen with this hallmark placement. The other one I have has a different maker's mark, a very neatly hand-engraved number lower on the badge, and a different type of pin. Anyway, the photo of the one shown here looks good to me too.

Here is mine. A Stamped Godet, Berlin badge with the number 505 stamped behind the crown. This one came in a plain case. Medal came from Neiman and has his paperwork stating it is original. Not many of these around!

No idea what the current market value is, Mike, but I would like to compliment you on a very nice badge!
