I believe it is a fake. The hinge and catch are the biggest give-away.

I thought it was a old fake. the guy i bought it from said it was made by russian slave labor in the last days of the war. At least thats what somebody told him. I only paid 20$usd for it. Did i get ripped off? Oh and how do you post pictures correctly i had this posted on a differnt fourm?

Russian slave labor? That's a good one! Your lucky it only cost you $20...

Definately not a genuine pre'45 Flak badge!

Even $ 20 is way too much for this.

The guy who i bought it from had paid 70$! But i did get some good pictures from him. Including a original of Erwin Romel! The guy i bought it from was clearing out his collection and was selling very cheap. And i was wrong about the slave labor i meant to say pow's. Since its a repro were do you think it was made? regards Von Mark
