Blokkadebrecher - why fake?

[Maurice]

hello all,

I have this Abzeichen for about 10 years, and have always been told it's a fake. This might well be the case, but can anybody give me specific reasons why? Is it because a lack of quality and detail?

Thanks in advance,

Maurice

here another pic of the backside.

The overall lack of detail on the front combined with the cast in hinge and bad maker mark on the rear should be enough to tell you.

Also the use of the material. The material used on this copy is very weak and will break if you bend it.

Maurice, do a search for these on this forum and you will see plenty of pics of good ones to compare to yours. Yours is clearly a poor casting when compared the crisp detail of originals.

Thanks for your replies! I indeed searched the forums, and saw that most of them were much sharper then the one I have.

I will destroy this one.

Kind regards,

Maurice
