coastal Artillery war badge

[Ahlersb]

I want to place a bid on several medals in an auction.
I have few pictures, but maybe they can help out to decide if copy or original.

Thanks

Hi Ahlersb,
looks like nice Friedrich Linden (FLL 43). This is mine to compare.

Regards.

I agree with above, period example. John

Is the gold on these late original badges spray paint?

[John R.]

No it is not spray painted when made. However, many have been touched up post war. John

Thanks John,
I've always been curious if any late original TR badges were ever painted rather than plated, other than the Black Wound Badge and EK core. I never could get an answer on that one.
