    German Proficiency badge. Real or Fake?

    I think this is the right place to post this, but I'm assuming that this Proficiency badge is a reproduction. Any help in ID'ing this as real or fake would be greatly appreciated. I'm assuming it is fake though. The reason I think it is a fake is because it doesn't seem like it looks right. The stylized swastika seems straighter than an original, the Lighting bolt S's seem thicker in the middle than the should be. I don't have my book with me, but I'd have to check L/12 maker. It just seems off. I'm by no means an expert though and would like a second opinion. THanks guys.

    My understanding is the 'pins' holding the runes in place were folded over on the reverse thus this isn't good.

      This badge does not correspond to the known originals. If you search this forum, you will find some really nice originals.

        Yes I agree. I found the book I was looking for and it still screams fake to me. Thanks for the input guys!
