    Hi,

    There's a difference between rare and non-existant. As far as I know, and although the award was conceived during the war, there were no know genuine examples produced (at least non-prototype "mass" production). This badge has problems with the hardware anyway - the flattening of the crimp mounds adjacent to the hinge is a good sign of a fake on any numbered badge.

    Evaluate the item, not the story and not the seller's reputation!

        This is a poor cast reproduction. You can see the casting cavities near the catch and the left side of the wreath.

        If it doesn't have a hinge and catch, I'm not interested......well, maybe a little

          It´s a fake, but it´s a fake seldom seen, so I guess that you can call it rare. A rare fake!

            I would classify it as a very clever fake as it is using the correct style eagle same kind of features from R.K. or MuK5

                At least they got the correct beak for the badge its based on. MArisca can you upload your pics directly< to WAF instead of hosting them out?

                  Whatever they do to improve these numbered lufties, it's too late !
                  It's one of those badges I don't consider as dangerous.

                    Who makes them? Who sells them? It must cost some money to produce fakes and who believes in this badge?
