25 Tank Assault Badge Opinions

[Stormfighter]

I have the opportunity to buy a 25 Tank Assault Badge (this would be the first one I have). I have a good feeling about this badge, especially because it looks nearly identical to one in Detlev Niemann's medal book, but want to check with you experts. As you can see, it appears to have been worn and has a slight twist to the pin (a fact that I personally like). If it is a good one, I would also like to know if the maker can be identified. All opinions are welcome and I am looking forward to them. Thanks in advance!

This is a fake. Save your money. The semi-hollow fakes like this have been around for a very long time. best wishes,

Hi Anton, there are a number of reasons, which are in the reverse. Also the measurements will be small when compared to an original. This is all I am going to say on this badge. Use the search function and study them yourself. best wishes,

I agree with Jeff here.

Anton, please don't guess when it comes to these badges. Your opinion can make someone loosing quite some money I'm sure if you study them good you will be able to make a good opinion once!

Thank you very much Jeff and Giel - you saved me a lot of money!

The detail on this one is strikingly bad. Among other things, the box for the engagement number looks cheap, and the swastika is very malformed.

Hi Anton80,

these pieces are very good faked, compare with the follow one and you will see many differences...

reverse side, how can see, it's a "first line piece"..
