    Para Badge Opinions Please

    Hello gentlemen,

    Here is a very late war Para badge that belongs to a friend. I am not 100% on the piece, and see things that would concern me. Therefore I am looking for your thoughts on this example. I would prefer to keep the things that concern me reserved for now as to not sway the thread. BTW, these are not my pics.

    Best,
    JD

            Dear Joe,

            A good Osang fake which is trying to be funny sporting a B&NL type wreath and eagle. Dangerous if one does not know that the original Osang type is the one that Brian shows.
            Here is another example of that fake posted before on these forums:

                I think this fake has surfaced before here. It tries to appear as a tombak or bm piece, but is not...

                  Thank you Frank and Brfian for the pics.


                  Agreed the wreath is the obvious, I think the example that I posted is pretty bad as their are many concerns as wellas the wreath.

                  - Talons

                  - Rivets

                  -Feathering

                  And the list goes on

                  @ Frank, your example looks much more convincing as the eagle as well as the hardware and MM look very good, even if the pics are doing the horizontal mombo

                    Dear Joe,

                    Maybe I haven´t made myself clear. It does and cannot look better, it is the same kind of fake, same production line. Wreath and eagle are exactly B&NL´s design on those.
                    Cheers, Frank

                        reverses, right down to the rivets, same production.

                            Hello Frank,

                            Understood, BUT, I was simply pointing out the differences in the talons as well as the scaling of the legs. Here is a close up yours. I think they look better than the one I posted. Of course they are both fakes.

                            Ahhhhh..............were both posting at the same time. Yep, same fake. Good to seem them side by side. I would say that the example I posted must just lack the detail in that area, But, sure is the same fake as yours.

                            Best,

                              Dear Joe,

                              Read my post #13 again!

                              VERY SAME badge as in IDENTICAL.

                              Check tarnish spots on reverse.
                              Cheers, Frank
