Heer Para Badge

[John Hodgin]

A member asked me to post this for him. Already gave him my opinion, but Eric, I think he would like to hear from our expert.

Hi John,

This is a common fake. I have digital images of about 15 - 20 examples of these. I think some are posted in the HOS.

I seen that same stylebadge on a e-peir sight and contacted the guy and stated that I believe it was a Repo, Well he e-mailed me back with very ugly responce, cuss words & such. The repo man never gives-up, I wounder if they even know what a good badge looks like??

Thanks John, Eric and 2coins.
This one was posted by John for me. This is the third place I have had it assesed and it's a case of three strikes and its out. I would still like to buy it though as it's going to be the closest thing to a real one I'll ever get. What would be a reasonable price for a replica one of these?.

I know Eric, thanks. It's good for Bruce having it confirmed by you!

Bruce, Eric or Willi will have to advise you on the price of a repro. I would hazard $50 to $200 depending on how badly you want one. It may be hard to find an honest person selling one of these as repro., LOL! Some reenactor catalogs may have them cheap; I don't keep up with that stuff.
Good luck,
John
