It´s easy to get burned at this GAB.. Do you guys know on which maker is it based? Rudolf Karneth I guess?Comment

Agree a very good Karneth fake and thanks for pointing it out Tom

I can see the casting line on the hinge, which points to the hinge block as being cast as part of the badge. I haven't done any side to side comparisons yet, but the backside looks a bit off --just outside the chest. Obverse looks good, but the Swas is a bit off too --distorted and thin IMO. I'm sure Tom will elaborate further.
