        Use the search function and type in AWS. You'll find many originals and fakes to compare.

              I did search as suggested. Rather than comb through the many pages of threads - some of which are completely unrelated, could you help by describing a little further this particular 'issue'. I would appreciate your input.

                Hello,

                Check post #13 of the thread linked below. It shows the reverse of an original A.W.S. Panzer Badge in bronze. Pay particular attention to the hinge and catch crimps on that badge and then compare it to your badge. The biggest flaw on the badge that you posted is its attachment hardware.

                Best regards,

                  I'am with Don on this. This is such a common fake that if you did the least bit of research you would realize why its bad. Do your homework.

                    Thanks for your comments.
                    The chief benefit of having a page like this on the Internet is the ability to have someone benefit from your information, i.e. my post for opinion on my badge. Essentially, I am saying it is just as important to ask the questions as it is to spend the time to answer them.
                    Cheers,

                      Thanks so much.
                      So it is 100% conclusive?
                      Could it be a hybrid, part repaired? I do not ordinarily collect badges.

                        No, it is a well known fake. Sorry.

                          Hi ObltKG4......

                          ......No hope at all. If it WERE a hybrid, or prototype piece you would have been duly notified. Those, before I, that have given responses to your query are very well versed in these badges, and the FAKES made to resemble them. As stated: we have a wonderful research function here; it would behoove you to benefit from it, even though having to 'wade' through many posts.

                            A thanks to all contributors to the thread. I got dollar for dollar back from the seller.
