Infantry Assault question......S&L? or Fake?

[Howard Kelley]

I'm stumped with this one. It doen't match completely to anything in Frank's Book on General assault badges. Similar to the fake badge on page 389, but no maker mark. Hinge is also close to the S&L comparison badges on pages 174-175. Help?


*Note*

When posting items late at night, drink lots of coffee. And concentrate completely on the item posted for the thread! Second time I have made this error.

SORRY! I'll do better in the future!

Hello Howard, this GAB looks like the fake on pg. 389 of Franks book, The "Angry Donald Duck" Like you said. Its not an S&L in my opinion.
Thanks,
Mike

Mike is right. That GAB is a fake.

Hi Howard, it is the same fake as in my book. The pictured fakes are just examples, they might come with diffrent or with no maker marks. It is just important that the obverse design (the fake obverse die) is the same for all of these "Angry Donald Duck" fakes.

Thanks!

THANKS again to everyone for the information.

I had listed this for sell on ebay, this past week. Because of this information I have ended that auction. Would hate to hurt someone because of my error.

THANKS AGAIN!

Howard
