Heer Flak Badge

[Jonathan M]

A relation bought this badge for me and to be honest my gut feeling is . But id like the opinions of the experten. If by any fluke it turns out to be a good un ill tell you how much they paid for it .

My opinion is a cast fake.

Thanks
Jonathan

I have never seen a back set up like that before, but I have to say I like it.

It looks like a good 'pillow-crimp' heersflak, but you'd better get an expert to confirm this. I don't know if the 'pillow-crimp' has been faked or not.

Thanks for the prompt replies. The medal Angolia has on page 98 of For Fuhrer and Fatherland has exactly the same setup.

Marc would be the one to give you an absolute. You should be able to get a pin replacement from Dr. Love.

Robert has shown you all you need to see to verify it is good.

Cheers Don.

My Mum was at an antiques fair in Gloucester over the weekend, shes filming and will appear with my Dad on an episode of Bargain Hunt . anyhow she calls me saying shes got a medal in her hands the same as the Luft Flak Badge all my brothers and sisters bought for me for my birthday and the guy is selling for £12. Immediately i think its a fake but for £12 would be a good display piece for the time being. I tell her to buy it. So £12 for a Heeres Flak Badge, id say a good piece of business!!!!

Perfect badge! The pins on these regularly fell out as the pillow-crimp was not the best. I have had them just fall out in hand - must have been a pain on the front!

[Jonathan M]

Marc, you have just made me a very happy man to the tune of £12

Any idea on makers and approximate value, not that im want to sell?

Cheers all
