I can only agree, these are common fake bags that have been around for many decades fooling people. They are actually a little too small to actually fit a clasp in there properly, and if you rub the black writing it comes off very easily, as if put on by a laser printer.
The originals in comparison only had "LDO" on the bag, never Nahkampfspange.

Did not Manion go out of business a while back. Have they come back from the ashes?
Really liking this new web format.

I heard the same thing about Manions, but I haven't shopped there in years so not sure about that. When I started collecting about 20 years ago, Manions still had a somewhat decent name, atleast for beginning collectors who didn't know anyone in the hobby. I bought my first CCC from them! Turned out to be fake ofcourse, was a nice lesson for me early on to do my homework!

I bought around four or so badges from Manions in the early 90s when I first started collecting and two turned out to be fake. I did return them and got a refund, but I’m pretty sure they just resold them. I did sell some stuff through them and their catalogs were good to look at to see what things sold for, but you were taking your chances when buying from them.
