In spite of the fact that no "proof" has ever been presented, I think there is some very compelling evidence that suggests that they are authentic.Visit my Badge Collection: http://lbmilitaria.homestead.com/home.html

Opponents say LDO, German regs., nothing would permit a FRENCH firm to produce this badge.
1st of all, exactly where in the minds of Germans did Germany end and French borders begin?
2nd. Wholesale takeover of property was rampant, why couldn't a German firm have occupied the premises of a badge producing firm in France and produced badges?
Here is "Germany" in 1897, concentrating on German regiments scattered throughout "France" as defined by the Prussian victory in 1871. Clearly the Treaty of Versailles borders were not recognized as legitimate by the Third Reich. German troops were stationed literally on the doorstep of Paris. In the minds of many an old soldier, this was German territory.

I don't have any of these French Navy badges ,don't collect KM badges..
I do know these French KM badges for a long time and have no problems with these.. ,as a matter of facts I really like them..
None of us can really prove whether these are good or fake..., kind of frustrating though...
All I can say is that I've seen them in very old collections from serious collectors and that was +30 years ago..
No proof..,but enough for me to know these are no common old fakes etc..
So, IMO these are original pieces.. ,no matter if they really made it to a recipient or not..
Philippe ,no Belgian PAB 's as far as I know...,But yes for Beltbuckles,cap eagles and some other stuff..
I've a typical Belgian made Luftbuckle in my collection..., scarce and quite unknown for a lot of collectors..

Originally posted by KeconI'm waiting for Mr. Robin Lumsden's reply. In his book, "Detecting the Fakes",
he claims they were created near Paris in the 1970s.
The badges I know are cast from zinc! So he is not talking about the same badges.
PS: I am referencing the year 2000 edition, page 34.Last edited by Lorenzo Brown; 01-28-2004, 06:55 PM.Visit my Badge Collection: http://lbmilitaria.homestead.com/home.html

To make it more complicated....
"Original" BACQUEVILLE badges are heavily faked...,why faking a fake in a way we can see it's a fake..?
Less progress...,these days they should do better.....!?
