Blockade Runners Badge

[Ralph Arndt]

I would like to show my cased blockade runners badge, early quality.

[Hans Kondor]

Looks promising, but a picture from the reverse would be good!

[Martin W]

i agree with Hans.

It would be nice to see a picture of the reverse.

Regards,Martin.

Well, I cannot say it looks promising... quite opposite to me.
As Hans and Martin have said, reverse image is required to make a final judgement.
Cheers,

Reverse photo's.

Sorry Ralph. Hubert´s got the nose when it comes to KM badges. This one is unfortunately not original.

Hello Ralph,

The zinc Schwerin looks good. Unfortunately, the A.G.M.u.K. is a high-quality fake. Original Blockade Runner Badges by A.G.M.u.K. should always be in zinc, not Buntmetall. On the reverse, the originals will have a ball-type hinge, needle pin, and a crimped-in catch.

Best regards,
Tom

Hi Ralph,

It's all been said. Nice zinc Schwerin but well-known fake A.G.M.u.K.

That type of fake (which came in a set) has been discussed several times before including this old thread from 2006:

Hi Ralph,
I enclose Schwerin and Agmuk badges from my collection for comparison.
