Unmarked Heer Flak

[Olivier V.]

Hi guys,

would like to hear your opinions on this Heer flak as i have looked more into LW examples so far, thanks for having a look.
It lacks the chest feather detail?

A better view on the gun's surface & the hardware.


Kind regards, Olivier.

Hello Oliver,

I don't like it. We can see there a lot of material mistakes on the surface.

The obverse similar as Foster&Barth eagle's head, the reverse similar as Funke&Bruninghaus and the finished is IMO very modern grey.

Best regards,
Gabor

I agree, I would pass here as well. Copied from an S&L/F&B army flak badge. Paint is very new indeed, and the pitting on top of the gun makes it even more obvious.

Thanks for your quick and detailed comments Gabor and Giel, my quest continues...

Kind regards, Olivier.

Quite a nice fake but a fake non the less...

Signs of casting are unquestionable. I agree it's a fake badge.

[Thomas Durante]

I can only agree, a well made fake. Nicely detailed at first glance, but several issues that have been mentioned are all red flags.

Thanks for your comments guys, glad to hear atleast i raised the right flags myself but silly i ignored what i knew from expierence (however limited) for just knowing its a rare badge. A risk free gamble so no harm done really , hope it makes the fake gallery...

Kind regards, Olivier.

Very common but nicely detailed S&L fake. Well spotted.
