Heer Flak Badge

[Johnny R]

I have had this in my collection for a long time but have always wondered if it is real or not. Please take a look and comment.

Thanks

Pin catch is sort of cheap, one of my main concerns for its authenticity.

Sorry, that is a post war badge.

Hello,

I haven't seen this maker's version of the Heer badge but the Luft version has a different hinge, pin and catch. Also the originals don't use the Wein (Vienna) on their badge, another sign of a repro. Sorry but just don't think it's a good one.

That is fine, thanks

I suspected it was post war, it must be an earlier copy, at least pre-1980.

As stated, if it says WIEN, run away.
