    Heer Flak Badge - I Had This in the Fake Pile....But Can You Confirm?

    Thanks in advance, I do not have Marc's great book to compare. I had it my fake Riker case, but want to be double sure since studying this type badge is not one of my strengths.

    Near the wing/gun tube, that is dirt in photographs. It is unmarked and the badge has "blued" finish to it and the needle is magnetic. Detail is very good.

    Hope these photos are detailed enough.

      Do I see a post war Souval catch plate under a resoldered new catch?

        Postwar piece IMO

          Thanks Gents. Might this fall into post-war Souval production?

          The owner got it thinking it was original about 15 years ago from a dealer that still sets up at local gun shows.

            I had the same thought --> In my opinion a Souval post-war piece with replaced catch.

                  Its a postwar Rudolf Souval IMO

                    I think it is a cast fake of a post war Souval. Note how the hinge is filled in and the catch plate appears to be part of the badge.

                      Same as the other two fakes posted recently.
