I'm not a collector of these.
But, I have been looking for a Freikorps version with black velvet backing. From what I understand, badges continued to be awarded during the Freikorps period by the MG units within larger Freikorps as well as by smaller, independent specialized MG Freikorps. So, I thought that perhaps this might be one of those.
It is a rather odd looking badge. But, I thought that it might stand a chance, however slim. The card replacement backing seems somewhat convincing. The splints are strange. But, perhaps that's a good thing. The detail is quite crisp. It doesn't seem to fall into the realm of the usual fakes. So....
Could I please get an opinion from someone (like Don, for example) who knows these like the back of their hand?
