I like what I see. Reverse is a little different than what is usually encountered. These sniper badges are one of the hardest things to authenticate in the hobby.

Here is a thread that I started a while back on the subject.

The more I learn on these, the less I know. I have given up.

Thanks for your opinions.
It is a most interesting topic, but very few information to this badge.
Nobody knows exactly the various manufacturers or various different variants.
I have also two sniper badge 2nd grade, but I´m here not sure whether original or fake. I think fake.

Hi sniper1944

can't say anything about the badges but I'd like to see the complete photograph from the bearer of this badge if possible. Never seen a pic with the badge in wear before.

greetings

Sniper 1944- What makes you think your two badges are fake?
Unless you have some specific information that those two are fakes, I would say they are original.
best wishes,

In spite of having given up the quest for "certainty", I would also agree that these silver grade badges look as good to me as any.

"1944Sniper" - Yes, please share the complete photo with us, with copyright if you like, but complete with face.

If the photo is really period it would be a great sensation!

I guess it´s just some Photoshop-fool-around.
