Austrian Observer's badge- circa 1930's

[Patrick W]

Hi Guys

This appears to be a very scarce badge- I haven't been able to find good pictures of a comparable example. My understanding is that this is an early Austrian republic badge from between the wars. The maker appears to have existed and can be found on other badges civilian and military.

Would anyone please be able to comment on the originality of this specimen- also any idea on value?

Many thanks

Patrick

Hi Patrick!
Sorry to say, but its a fake. The original badge has a screw on the back and a number for the recipient. Here is one out of my collection.
