Hello,
I was offered this Kriegsmarine badge. Is it Original. The detail and hinge look ok, but I wasn't sure about the catch.

Thanks!

Hi Martin,

Staegemeir indeed carried a Schwerin fake, but this one is different. Here's another example of the same sort of fake but with the hinge mounted vertically, and below that the Staegemeir fake for comparison.

Best regards,

Thanks all for your help! You saved me a lot of money and a worthless medal. I already got it, but I can return it. Very interesting to see how well they are being made.
