Hi guys,
While purusing some dealer sites this morning I found this fake Deumer Oval Crimp PAB in the offering of original badges. Its a nicely made Staegemeir fake, with a few red flags. Firstly the porous appearance to the base metal and the incorrect finish for a later war Deumer. Also notice that the hardware was supposed to be crimped in, but because the crimps were already punched down on the original he used to make this copy, he had to resort to simply sondering on the catch on to of the crimp, this is always a big red flag on his fakes. Hinge and pin are also incorrect, not what Deumer used.
Stay on your toes gents.
