Whilst there are many reproductions of this badge on the market I would welcome your opinions on this one:
Thanks, Jeff

Anyone seen this maker before?

My first impression is that it is a fake, due to the fact that they misspelled "PFORZHEIM" and instead made it "PEORZHEIM". Oops! Gary

PFORZHEIM is right. This is a town between Karlsruhe and Stuttgart. I live there.

This is one of many copies of luftschiffer badge. all have the same design with different pin and catch and maker marks. I never seen a wearer picture with such a badge. IMO this are not original badges.
