Your opinion on this Tank Destruction Badge - Original or fake?

[Tanker90]

Hey guys, I am new to this forum and relatively new to collecting militaria!

I have already been reading a lot here about my topic but wanted to open this discussion for my case. The seller says it's stripped directly from the uniform and original. Having seen posts here in this forum I have reason to not believe this.

What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance!

The rear drive sprocket lacks detail, no center hub or spokes etc.. That is what I see from your only photo. A better photo is needed and hopefully one of our TDB guys can give it a good look.

Welcome to the forum, its a great place to learn.

Not an expert on these but I do not like what I see.

Others with more knowledge will comment.

Thanks for the first answers!
I quite learn a lot here, it's fantastic.

Unfortunately this is the only photo we can work with at the moment; I asked for more a few hours ago; let's see if I get better/ more detailed shots.

Save your hard-earned money friend! Compare the details of accepted originals in this Forum against even this poor picture and you will quickly realize that these are bad tdb badges!

I agree with Walter, the whole lot is bad.

Those are a long way from originals. The good news is there are plenty of originals on this forum to study. Just type tank destruction badge in the search function.

Sorry but not original war time pieces.

[Tim Curley]

As others have stated, most definitely not original examples.
