      This is the last one. Not sure if it has been identified or what it is referred to.

      Thanks for the help...

        Hi!

        My opinion:
        1) M.u.K 5: very nice original!
        3) Unknown maker: very nice too

        2) Arno Wallpach: I'm not sure on this one, because the hinge-block is not centered under the hole above.

        Kind regards, Peter

          Hi

          All three very nice originals......

          Also the Wallpach,...It doesn`t matter,the hinge block is mostly not 100% centered under the hole above....
          The hinge block was also cast in the Wallpach pieces ...... the hole was made only after the casting,since it may even be deviations
          Best regards
          Erwin

            Hi Don,

            I agree with the others, the MUK5 is a very nice original.

            The "Unknown one" is also a fine original, and most likely produced by Hammer & Sohn as several have been found in marked packets.

            Not sure about the Arno Wallpach, it looks OK to me but I haven't studied these enough to be sure and the fakes seem to be excellent of these. The pristine finish is a little bit of a concern here for such a late war badge, so not sure.

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

              Hi Peter,

              The hole above the hinge was drilled in AFTER the badge was cast, so depending on exactly where it was drilled, it doesn't always line up perfectly above the hinge.

                      Hammer Erdkampfabzeichen

                      Hi,
                      When closely looking at the applied eagle, it is not textbook, in fact i can not find that pattern with the more curved wings & less detailes featherwork on any typ of Errdkampfabzeichen. Can someone shine his light on this? Otherwise this one has all other correct features... so a bit confused... regards, chris
