It looks like a good unmarked Deumer.

Hi guys,

I really don't like the look of the reverse hardware on this ROAG. I also don't like the weak details on the obverse and the finish is questionable. At a minimum, I think the reverse hardware is replaced on this example, or it is a cast reproduction IMO.

p.s, vacollector, I also just replied to your email a few moments ago, so you should have it.

I questioned the hardware and the bird on this one when I saw it. But being as it may, I thought it a good item to bring to the board.

I'm sorry for my first reply, I think I was too quick and didn;t study it good enough.
I looked some more badges up and see some diffirences wich I didn't notice first. So I have to agree with Thomas.
