    A Tale of Two Badges

    Here are two minesweepers - I think one is good and one is not. What do you think? Richard

          Absolutely. Left one is good, right one bad.

              Minesweeper

              Hello guys,
              I saw a fake Minesweeper identical to the one shown two weeks ago in an antique shop in Peoria, AZ. It was for sale along with a bad Destroyers badge, and one of those Juncker SW 68 Pilot badges.
              Regards,
              Jody

                  Hey guys , did you see that because of the pin?
                  Or are the other points where you can see that the right badge is fake?

                      Niels,

                      The main thing that was looked at with the bad badge was the letters, more than the pin itself. Carefully compare the two and you will see the one on the left, the good badge, has somewhat irregular letters, while the bad badge on the right, the letters are perfectly even and the font slightly off. There are other points, but this is so obvious, you stop there most of the time.

                      Since you are new, you might not be aware of the excellent research articles on the forum. Go to the Association area and follow it through until you find the articles on these naval badges--there are two of them. This will help you out very much in the future. So, look to the lower right of the page, click on wehrmact-awards.com, then go to the association only section, then find the articles. There is quite a bit more in here, so it is worth the initial effort to work your way through the links to find everything.

                      If you still can't find it, let us know.

                      John
