I have to agree with Frank. Both badge and case are copies.

Very interesting copy. Can you post a close-up of the swas please?
Thanks,
Marc

Marc,

The close up of the Swastika is attached. This piece was given to me by a family member who bought it over 20 years ago and as such has cost me nothing. What concerns me is the quality of the badge is outstanding.
I hope the picture is of use

Regards

Jim

Hi guys,

That indeed is an interesting one. Just viewing the obverse I was pretty sure it was a good one, but the back is horrible. They did a great job with the obverse though, looks very well made and nicely detailed...

When eyed from the front the wreath is too narrow and other dimensional perspectives are off...I do not know which maker it was cast from but a nice study.

Best,

At first glance I thought it was a J3 flak (obverse). I've never seen a fake like it.
