LW Flak Badge

[aurichnet]

I made a bid at militaria.com at this Flag Badge made by ASSMANN with absolutely guarantees of the authenticy. But Im not shure. I dont have better fotos!

Don't worry, it's original, it's a lightly lived Assmann

Puh, thank you very much!

Imo a very good fake, flaw is missing, catch is wrong, MM is slightly off centre and the eagle looks like it’s missing the A too. A very good clever fake.

Fake? Nearly the same style like my Flak Badge is published at "Combat badges of the 3. Reich - Luftwaffe Vol. 2" . Other opinions?

[Job Lunter]

I don`t like this either, looks like a staegemier product with this catch. The material is wrong, Assmann logo is off, detail is very soft.

Imo a very good fake.

[Tony Bologna]

I believe this is a good one

Very good fake to me as well. This badge is not zinc, the hardware is wrong. Catch is not assmann, maker mark not textbook and not located at the good place. On these flak the Maker mark os die cast and are always at the same location and last ots missing the small A on the wings.

Very dangerous fake.

Hello

I don't like this badge either, the catch seems too thick, missing A on the wing tip, offset A in the centre (personally I've never seen this)? and I really don't like the colour of the obverse.
One to walk away from in my humble opinion.

Staegemier fake for me. Reverse hardware setup is the key here, hinge is not like original Assmann badges same with the catch. You have to look very close at small details like the size of the barrels of the hinge, the material it is made from and the precise bend of the catch, etc. to see the small differences compared with originals. The fakes are too good these days guys, you cannot simply look at just the obverse and reverse design and say its good unfortunately...

Here is another one of these good fakes like yours.

Sorry, I thought it was good, comparing mine there are differences, instead he is a Staegmier
