I dunno, but something looks odd about this one. I don't think the pin and hinge are correct.

Thanks a lot to you. I love this forum. I should have been a member earlier. So I would have saved a lot of money. For notice, the badge comes from Easteurope. So far, so good.

Geyus,

If you're looking for one of these, read Mike Kenny's article on High Seas Fleet badges by Schwerin first and it will show you a lot of great information.

Bad badge IMO.

Interesting fake, I haven't seen this one before. Are there many of these on the market? I think it would be worthy to add to Mike's article, if it isn't already shown. At least the pictures are of good quality.

Hi,

The hardware and maker mark are very similar to the Cave Creek Special "4-bridge window" fake. I think this example is probably an improved "4-bridge window" fake.

Re the article, the aim was to ID features of original examples, not to catalogue every fake. I would strongly urge the owner of the images to add this example to the HSF Fakes Gallery section though!

Mike
