Need opinion on another coastal artillry badge

Hi !

Somebody proposes me this badge. There is no marking. The salesman thinks that it is a French manufacturing. What do you think about it ?

Hi not french made but in my opinion it is.

[looy]

Thank you mrg.

**** it ! I will never find a good one !... I'm searching a good one for years now...

There are fine examples that show up frequently on the eStand.
Check there from time to time. There are also several dealers here with good reputations who could sell you one as well.
Post in the "Wanted" section. Maybe someone can help you there.
Regards,

Hi Justin. It will be great for me to post it in the "wanted" section but I can't... I think it's because i'm new here. If you know someone who wants to sell one just contact me ok ?

You can find many zinc examples on www.history-shop.de , but finding a tombac is not so easy.

Thank you anubisz, I'll see that. I'm waiting for the registering and I hope it's not too expensive.

Because I can't post it in the " Wanted " section I post it here :

I also need a german war merit cross with swords in good shape.

Regards.

Hello,

It think its original.Hermann Aurich maybe?
I post it to the forum.

There's another example of this type of unmarked CA badge in the database thread pinned to the top of this forum.

As John has previously pointed out, although the hardware matches HA, the badge itself is clearly different from HA, having different cutouts as seen on the reverse.

These badges are very similar (but not identical) to the CA badges attributed to S&L, which makes me wonder about another Lüdenscheid maker, but the crimped in hardware we don't usually associate with Lüdenscheid...

Anyone else have some thoughts?

Best regards,

So what do you think about it ? It can't be a false because I bought it on the site History shop...

Hi looy,

Buying it at Kai Winkler's shop does not guarantee it is genuine -- you still have to research items you buy from dealers or eventually you will get dinged. Having said that, I think this is likely a genuine period zinc badge by an unknown maker.

I was hoping to get some more discussion going on these to see if anyone has some other ideas about the maker, perhaps based on similar setups on other Lüdenscheid makers' badges of the other services?

Best regards,
