Johannes,

if Osang made P/Os or pilots we´ve yet to find out. Fact is that the badge you are showing is a rather nasty fake that should´nt really fool anybody. Looks like its been badly cast from a J2 to me.

Hi Johannes,

indeed there are badges which you really need to have in hand to judge. Especially some of the new fake PABs and Luft badges. The badge in question is so bad though that I reckon 90% of the forum members would think its fake just from these pics.

Bad luck for your friend but we´ve all been there.

Hi Johannes,

Just another opinion,the badge you posted is a definate fake,altough the wear on some of these fakes...........really looks real,makes you wonder on some pieces.

Your Friend,
Joe

hello joe


you are right .i was wondering how do they do this kind of making it older.
when you see this on a quick eye you think it is oke.but then comes the makermark, the details,etc.
