Hi Robert. I believe this is a cast copy of an original Aurich CAB. The cannon details on the front are really quite good, but the hinge and catch are not correct....and your last photo of the mark and catch suggest to me that it is a fake. Also the texture of the badge material does not look like period zinc construction.

Hi Roberts,

I fully agree with Lorenzo in all points mentioned.

Hi Robert welcome to the forum, must say im not keen on this award. Detail to the eagle looks soft and the way it grasps the swaz is not correct and overdone (feet look too thick and spread). And also like Lorenzo has already said hinge is wrong. Sorry . All the best.
