HSF Badge Opinions Please

Hi,

I'm posting these images of a HSF Badge for a colleague. He would like some additional opinions on it.

If you could help him out, it would be appreciated.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Jay,

What is the mm?

Too many question marks, IMO:

1) Tombak badge but "zinc" type hinge
2) strange maker mark (I am almost sure I have seen it on another fake)
3) up to now, not a known maker of these
4) overall texture and finish suggest "cast fake"

"Too many question marks, "

I was almost expecting to see your little friend on this one Frank.

I do not see anything at all that looks good for this badge; material, hardware, finish, poor details, and we cant forget the mm.

A cast copy of a Schwerin IMHO trying to be something else entirely.
