      Well, for any discussion photos are needed, so here there are. The photos are poor quality but even so there are some red flags.

      First, they all seem to be from the same manufacturing source. Second there are raised "o" marks such as are seen on post-war S&L production. Thirdly (and most concerning) these are combined within the same minis with raised "L/11" marks that are different from the usual stamped "L/11" marks on wartime Deumers. I have to agree these features are at least suspicious for modern manufacture.

      Best regards,
      ---Norm

        With decent photos, I would have phrased myself differently, hence the "think". Norm correctly spotted a few of the concerns. Satisfied?

          I found a mini of this type from an internet vendor with better photos. Clearly cast production.

          Best regards,

            Agreed gentlemen
            It would be nice for clearer photos with better detail for inspection

            Kind regards Chay

                Here we go. Nicholas Morigi's The Regalia Specialist offers this repro to re-enactors and movie producers alike for £7.95. Clearly the same design, cast production, and this time the large base plate for the pin attachment largely covers up the fake "L/11" mark.

                Best regards,

                  Great work as usual Norm!
                  Often people don’t keep track of morigis fakes they have caused problems for years.

                    Apparently caused some problems for original poster/seller as well.
