Dan (dwood76545),
Asked me to post this badge for him. Unfortunately IMO it is a fake based on the S&L design...

Yup....thats a fakeComment

Finally, some real evidence that points these unmarked badges to Osang, instead of Steinhauer and Luck!!!
Just kidding, IMO a fake as well.

I've seen this one before but the Osang maker mark is a new feature. The fake files just get bigger and bigger

Thanks Dan and Robert for posting this. I remember not too long ago sending a few badges to Robert to post. One was a fake daisy PAB. I can't say the intenet taught me anything. I can say the members of this forum have!
If you want to collect, all the knowledge is here with members. Otherwise, there are lots of thieves ready to take your money!

Hi Guys,
This fake is arround for quite some time now and comes with a lot of exotic mm, mostly Luftwaffe badge makers but also Schwerin or Keller.
It's based upon the S&L Monster PAB with which it shares the halfmoon dieflaw over the hinge. This really isn't a dangerous fake also because its made of high quality metals.

My reproduction
Hello- I am somewhat new to this, but robert has contacted the gentleman that sold me this badge and together they have asked me to send it to robert so that he can photograph it and then he will send it back to me. I am not a very trusting sole and I did just get burned by this reproduction. Has anyone else sent badges to robert and sucessfully gotten them bacK? I can't help thinking fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.- DanComment

You can trust Robert. He has been doing this for a number of folks here.pseudo-expertComment

I just sent him about $6000 worth of real badges to photograph and they just got back safe and sound!
