RS Badge - Hilfskreuzer

[Joe Slavick]

Hello Gentlemen:

I have an RS badge that I never "officially" entered into my collection. I've had my doubts about it; but it also looks original. Four Photos.

I am hoping to get your opinions on it: Save it or pitch it?

Thanks!

Joe

Last one.

Hopefully it is good; but like I said, I have my doubts.

I think I'd pitch that one, Joe. Design, finish and details do not match originals. Also the maker mark is the wrong style and in the wrong place. See attached picture of an authentic RS Aux badge for comparison.

Thanks Lorenzo.

I was hoping against hope that it was some variant that I was unfamiliar with.

Thanks for looking and providing an opinion. Looks like this one will get "the hammer and trash can" treatment.
