an old Minesweeper Badge fake ?

Ciao Cosimo,

I´m sorry but it´s a poor, cast fake. It´s very similar to those coming today from poland.

Not a good one anyway.

Kind Regards

many thanks for your help max

this is not a surprise for me, even if I hoped that it was a late productions or something similar , but note Weitze sell now a similar Badge, the back it is the same. the front differences, can be due to press usure.

..............ach the hope is l last to die...........

many thanks again

Sorry to hear that Cosimo. It happens to most new collectors at some point. At least now you can post something before buying or do the research yourself on the forum to be able to tell real from fake. best wishes,
