    Heer Flak Unmarked - genuine?

    Hi guys,

    Have been offered this HF but have been unable to find another one like it after searching this forum and the members reference area, accordingly I am having difficulty determining if it is genuine. Their are a couple of badges that have a similar obverse but I haven't been able to get a match on the hardware. The rust on the back looks a bit unnatural as well.

    Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Regards

    Steve

      Rust really runs up a red flag for me. I have seen some rusted badges that are good (mostly wound badges and EKs) but the rust is generalized and not as bright in color. IMO it would take a prolonged exposure to moisture that would most certainly damage the rest of the finish. That is not to say it is not a good piece. I do not know enough about badges to say but rust is used to give the appearance of age. It ‘s a very old trick.
      I will be interested to hear what others say..
