Badge original or not?

[Gary Symonds]

The first one is the one posted by Robin Lumsden, which is the same as the one posted by Don in the previous post. The second one is the one originally posted on this thread.
Hope this helps.
Ralph.

I appreciate the help and not sure which one’s are first and second.

Could you please refer to post numbers, and their significance.

The one with the black background is the one posted by Robin Lumsden, which you referred to, and the one with checkered background is the one that was originally posted asking the question of if it was original or not, it is not.
Or you could just look at the one that lacks detail in the foreground, this is the fake one.

I really can’t agree.

The tank and the horizontal lines in the background appears to be the same, equally sharp.

A clearer picture of the debris field would help.

It could be merely bad focus.

Tank is not the same, there are many differences in details, like windows, barrels etc. Further: distance between tank and wreath is completely different, as well as the skull at the top (eyes, bones, sash), details under the tank, and the leaves in the wreath... Nothing is the same

No way those look the same. Maybe time to invest into some glasses?

Merry Christmas!

Thanks for the friends' opinions, now it's clear to me the difference, the original has many more details than the fake.

Ok, in the light of day, with my glasses cleaned, I see the difference.

And some light reading. The thread links to other threads that include some good info.

nice pic of the "Verkaufskatalog"........

If you are looking for a real one then it should match that pic to be on the safe side.
