I do not have a lot of knowledge on these, but it looks like a fine badge.
And I want to compliment you on the photographing / scanning, it's a quality picture.

Do you have a special way to do this?

I have a digital reflex camera to make precise photographs

**tonio53** · 12-11-2010, 11:39 AM

so, what do you think about this badge ? I want your advice.

Well, looks like a good fake french made badge to me.

No seriously, these badges are highly controversial. Some believe, and some don´t. I would not want one of these badges in my collection. Yours however, looks like an accepted variant by that maker.

Quite a bit to read, but here are some pro and contra regarding these:

I do not understand where come from this controversy on the authenticity of these medals because Bacqueville collaborated with German during the war and made badges for the kriegsmarine, this was demonstrated.

Please show us these proofs then. I think quite a few collectors are interested to see them.

I read in a magazine which the Bacqueville factory did not want to admit after the war which it had made badges for German not to be accused of collaboration. But the workers who worked on it confirmed the manufacturing of these badges during the war.
More numerous veterans of the war recovered badges bacqueville at the end of the war, mine results from a ancient collection made by a Resistance fighter.

What then your arguments to say that these badges were made after the war? What adorned me improbable because I do not see the interest
to make that after war, the German badges was not desired as now!!

Excuse me for my english

1000's of Vets brought back badges from Germany manufactured by S&L among others specifically for the "collecting" market. Why not these? They obviously did not have today's value attached to them ... but there was a huge interest in <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w

Welcome to the forum and no problems about your English. You can use the search function in the top right of this subforum and read about this maker and the many comments made about them over the years.

In the end, it is up to each collector to decide and if they are happy with this series of badges, that is perfectly fine. Nobody can prove without a doubt a lot about this hobby.

Your explanation has been stated before as have many others. You can spend a bit a time catching up on all these posts and you will probably enjoy the read.

Also please restrict your file size to those allowed on the forum. Your initial images were blurry and not useful. I have resized them this time but please keep it under 900X1200 or so.
