The award itself looks good possibly mayer?schkinle the catch looks strange going of those pics could be a replacement. All the best

Hi patriote4935,

As Gary says, it's an original Pforzheim-made tombak badge of the Schickle/Mayer/Zimmermann design. (You can't say which member of the Pforzheimer Liefergemeischaft in particular.)

The catch is original too. A typical Pforzheim catch used at times by all 3 of these makers, although these badges also come with with the round wire catches. Your catch I expect is the same as that seen on this L/15-marked (Schickle) EK1.

Best regards,
---Norm

Hi Norm must be the pictures then, as that catch looks alittle to long for me and not like the ones you refer too. Maybe a side shot would help. Regards
