Fake Heer Flak on E-stand?

[Grimjaur]

Was about to purchase this but a quick search on the forum made me unsure. Flak badges are for sure not my area of collecting but I've been looking for a beat up Heer Flak badge for some time. This is what concerns me, please correct me if I'm wrong.

* Eagle head has wrong shape.
* Larger portion of wing tip touching the barrel than on the ones considerer original.
* Casting marks (Or just poor storage?)

I saw the badge before reading your post.I noticed the cast marks and agree this doesn't look original IMO

Hi guys,

I agree. This badge is a well known fake.

Best regards,

Thanks for the input and confirmation. Too bad, but I'll just keep on looking for a well worn and beat up Flak badge and also read/study more on the subject.

AGREED, a clear cast fake, far from quality we see with originals.
