Help with Sniper Pacht.

[Knight_David]

Hello,

One friend recently bought this sniper patch:





What do you think about that? It´s fake? It´s original WWII?

Thanks in advance.

David.

common fake, originals are MUCH different!

If your friend is interested in the German Sniper Patch he should purchase a copy of the new book, The German Sniper Badge 1944-1945 by Rolf Michaelis,
I just purchased my copy today and it has some pictures of original badges to look at.

The book is quite light on information, it could have used some larger pictures, but I am not aware of any other book out there that even has the details this book has, with colour photos.

There are very detailed discussion threads on these on the Heer awards forum. Everything you need to know is there. Just do a search. This one is not even close. Jacques
