Nope, I'm not joking. Please have a look in Frank Heukemes book: German Awards of WWII, GAB, page # 390. You may also search badges section of this forum for "angry Donald Duck" for more info on it...Originally posted by PorscheComment

Okay, I accept what you guys are saying, I've checked the earlier threads and it does seem to have most of the characteristics. However, the rear detail is very sharp, unlike some of those discussed previously and there's no evidence of the die flaw mentioned. Perhaps the makers have been reading these threads and ironing out the identifying features -If so, we can expect Donald to become less angry!!!!!
I'm off to get my money back....................................

No doubt the Angry Donald and no need to look for die flaws. The angry Donald design does not find an original parallel. It is a modern design creation, made as hollow and solid badges. Just remember the head and you are safe.Cheers, Frank

Thanks, took the badge back to the dealer and he refunded my money no problem. Just for the record, the badge weighed 11.5 g and the 'strange' patina was Black paint, as has been mentioned in some of the earlier posts.
Another lesson learned!!!
