    Hi,

    This type of Otto Schickle.

    Do you have better images, mass and weight? you can send all to my email?

    I would like to examine the piece more accurate.

    Greeting LC

                      Hi Guys,

                      It's certainly the Schickle design but exhibits different production quality (and age) from the wartime examples we've seen posted and it has an odd finely corrugated surface texture on the reverse. We've seen one other example of this type with this hinge and pin -- a shiny new one from a decades old photo from the files of Roger Bender.

                      The catch is a close facsimile of a Schickle catch but slightly different, appearing thicker and with a slightly different "step" at the bottom end. If I had to guess, I would suspect this is an early reproduction, perhaps from the Floch era. We don't know what happened to Schickle's tooling so it's even conceivable that the mysterious yet highly prolific Floch-era producers got a hold of some dies along with all the various leftover wartime bits and bobs incorporated into their wares.

                      Best regards,
                      ---Norm

                        It wouldn't be the first reproduction of the Schickle badge. Here's one previously posted by AZartman which was more obviously a cast product. He even had it analyzed and showed it to be cast in silver. Those were the days!

                        The catch on this one mimics the other type of Schickle catch (round-wire with a flattened base). Someone obviously had originals to work from.

                          Hello,

                          Unfortunately, I also see a piece that does not match the saved original! You can see some differences in quality.

                          the even brake pouint is strip on the back site. That was why I ground see better pictures.

                          The weight is different from the originals!

                          Gruß LC

                            Thank you very much. Since my example has been around since 1945, I will just have to live with it.

                              But Bob, don't you think it's great that we know more now than they did then?
