SA Redo badge, fake?

[Frank Heukemes]

Dear all,
Having read in a remark from member "Wespennest" (Jos) that "Redo" maker mark SA badges are highly faked, I kindly request you to take a look at my silver class SA Redo badge. It is magnetic, came from a good source together with three other decorations that have proven to be good. Is it ok?

Cheers, Frank

Hello Frank,
Here's a reaction as I'm the one who made you upset.
In my opinion REDO is the most faked SA Sport medal.
I always go for the early numbered types.
My badges are made by E.Schneider and Berg&Nolte.
I don't know what differences there are between a good and bad REDO badge,maybe the fakes have a kind of tiny rim around the swastica when you look at the backside,you have to investigate that yourself or maybe some other members know the answer.
I give you a site where they sell very good fake stuff and the REDO is one of them.
Also scary are the medals,it's worth a topic on these either.
Good luck,
Jos.

Hi Jos,

Thanks, that soothes me a bit. It is definitely not that repro shown there. I do not have the swas rim and my lettering on the back is totally different too.

Cheers, Frank
