Could you help with confirming/denying this war badge ? I looked up the fake gallery but could only see Schwerin marked ones. It did look like one of the Schwerin ones identified by Henri S as 'Another very dangerous fake'.

Sorry to say but this is a poor cast fake.
The only Gablonz maker of this badge that we know of is the one that is marked AS in a triangle.

Thanks Martin, appreciate you taking the time to confirm. I have a few more to post up that need 'confirmed' but I'm seeing a pattern for these badges bought thru a UK Auction House. i feel I am victim to the 'elephant in the room' and other people dumping their known fakes thru routes like this.Comment

Hi,
This is obvious fake, one looker and I would not call it 'very dangerous' - poor cast reproduction of Schwerin s-boot with fantasy agmuk maker's mark.
Cheers,

Thanks Hubert. I don't have any frame of reference to compare it to so when I eventually see some real ones I'll have that 'A ha' moment
