Narvik Opinions

[mvm71]

Hello Guys and Gals,

I've had this Narvik for about year or two. Purchased here in the forum. I checked Pascal's thread on Narvik's and I believe it might be a Deumer early version as it has a short 1 and an even space between the V and the I. I'm no shield expert but I believe it's 100% original.

Expert opinions on this Narvik would be appreciated.

Thank you
Mike

Hi Mike...I posted a discussion on this one as agreed. I have to say for me it's a Deumer copy.

On original Deumers as with other Narviks the wreath should sit on the bottom of the crossbar whereas on your shield there's a gap.

I agree with Peter here.

It´s a known fake that have been posted here from time to time.

Looks like an original early Deumer, looks like the same badge to me on Pascal's thread. I could be wrong.

Thanks,
Mike

If its a fake I hope I can get my money back, this was purchased from a forum sponsor John at Germanwarbooty last year.
Thanks,

I'll send it back this week.

Thanks to all of those who added comments.

And being how I was going to be the buyer I would like to repeat the exact same sediments towards you. Mike you are a hell of a guy that I would do business with any time!

Thanks Lee, it's the right thing to do. I'd hate to get boned, something I'd never do to a fellow collector. We've all been through it if you've been in the hobby long enough.

I'm glad everything worked out.

All the best,
Mike
