HSF for review

[Harry047]

Hi, my kids chipped in and bought me a HSF for my Birthday ( love my kids)
and I would just like to run it past you guys.
The badge looks early, but the fittings are the late ones for zinc badges.

Hi Harry,

Sorry to say, that's a cast reproduction. But a very nice gesture from your kids and it's the thought that counts.

Best regards,

I have to agree with Norm.

Sorry to say but it is a postwar reproduction.

Cheers,Martin.

Yes

Martin and Norm are experts on these. I can only
agree, its a 100% fake. You have some good kids,
hope they did not spend much money on it or
a refund is possible.

My mother would try to suprice me with some markets
TR finds in the past.. I got a fake badge every birthday
and Christmas for years...

Many thanks, for all your replies, depressing as the news is, my kids were given a guarantee that the badge was 100% original, so I think a refund will be in order.
Again many thanks for the expert opinions, I just love this forum.

I agree, doubtless fake.
Interesting thing is that the catch looks like a good representation of Ludenscheid-like catches?
Great kids you have!
Cheers,
Hubert
