Hello Rik,

thanks for your reply. So the first one is a fake.
I have another "Air Gunner Badge with Lightning" for review from the seller.

What`s your opinion to this one?

Dagaz,

Both fakes in my opinion. The second one has the wrong cast in hinge blocks, and wrong lettering in DRGM, for starters.

The second one looks textbook Assman alu ROAG to me and in perfect condition to boot.

Hello Rich,

thanks for your reply. The material of the second one seem to be out of alu.
Total weight of the medal is 12,5 gram.

Hi Rich,

The different type of hinge ends and font in the DRGM don't bother you? I only have my example by which to compare, and I notice differences. If they are acceptable, then I stand corrected.

The Assmann is a good one in my opinion. Compare with my piece
