Is this fake?

[relics2007]

Can you please confirm if this is a fake badge? Is it supposed to be the Radio/Air Gunner badge but missing the lightening bolts? Sorry, These are the only pictures I have.
Thank you!

Any one has any opinion on this badge please?

Based solely on those pictures, I wouldn't want this one. Looks cast.

Looks cast.

Hello,

From these pictures I too feel that it may be a cast copy. Edge detail finish is sloppy. I would expect better on a Luftwaffe award in particular. Even mid to late war.

Have a look here...

That may answer your question concerning the lightning bolts.
