AGMuK BB. Comments?

[skip]

Gents,

I have this badge from a semi dealer here in Berlin.
He wants to sell it and asked my opinion. I gave it but he´s not so convinced so without any further ado, what would you all think of this badge?

Comments?

Thanks

Reverse?

I think it is a fake (which is what you probably told him. )

The front looks close...but the back, mark, hinge and catch are all wrong.
I think this same badge is featured in the Fakes Gallery:

Fake! wrong set up, and looks to be made out of a modern metal.

Thanks for the replys.

It was my opinion as well but some people just want to stay in denial.

Hi,

Skip. a late reply for what it's worth, but as has already been confirmed - this example is a fake. I've only ever seen AGMuKs in zinc and never with this hinge/pin/catch assembly. I hope your dealer firend does the right thing - and doesn't sell it as anything but a repro.

Regards

I agree with the others that this one is not original. Besides the hinge the lettering is just to clean looking from any original I have seen.
