catch

[Valter Gorenc]

For me it looks it could be just gold-painted bronze one . Note very uniform finish especially on front side, and even over the damaged/cracked upper right swastika "elbow". The gold color seems too shiny and new to me, not deep "old gold" as it should be... And also - the "gold" finish is most worn NOT where it should be - on higher parts, but in the deepest parts of the badge - note letters on the backside. I would definitely stay away from this one.

But maybe I'm wrong? Please someone esle with more experience with this badge post something!

Regards, Valter

Valter, You summed it up quite nicely. I totally agree with you.

I think the catch was repaired prior to repainting it Gold.

I did not even notice that at first. Your right, that is not the original catch.

Thank you all for your opinions I posted this guy in the Political section also and received the same response. Mainly about the finish.

Chris - don't worry about being truthful, that's why I posted it. That's what this Forum is all about.

Appreciate the help guys
