Hi Roman,

Original, made by AS in triangle (unmarked). Swastika possibly denazified and then restored again, swastika area repainted.

Hello Frank, It is me Sergey. I think that swastika is untouched, but looks bad - this ia a reason to examine this badge. Some Russian "Experts" don't like it. Is it possible that the badge was produced by another maker?Is it possible that the badge was produced by another maker?

Hi Sergey have too say that it is trying to be a AS but i am not so sure, detail in certain areas of the wreath look a little soft and lumpy (for want of a better word) eagle and the swaz look deformed. The round ball catch is there a pin there? I can see a small gap at the top but not what you would expect too see. I personally would be cautious of this one. All the best

Hi Frank,
At all my respect,
But I can not agree with you.
Business all that Sergey considers that you doubt that this sign was in the beginning denazified, and then it is repaired again.
I show images of eagles of the same manufacturer on which it is well visible, that the swastika looks absolutely on another.
As I think, that it not AS. But one of manufacturers entering in AGMuK.

Hi Frank.
I held this badge personally in hands. The swastika was not altered!!! If there was an alteration,the sign would be painted once again, BUT a covering the old not new. I think, that it stamp similar on AS, but it probably not AS.

Hi Vlad,
Your position and Sergey is clear to me.
You are sellers of this sign and you would like to be confident, that everything is all right.
But if the buyer has doubts it is better to return money.

I am always ready to return money if experts with Wehrmacht-awards will tell that such SWASTIKA CAN NOT BE.
