2 fake badges: Observer and Pilot

[Aurora68]

Hello all,

these two badges are offered in an auction site as "100 % original", but IMO it´s obvious that something is not ok with them.....

An Observer marked "PM"

A PO badge marked with DRGM


Greetings & regards

here the "doubtful" PO

Pilot badge is IMO, very tired, but the original Alu Assmann. With repaired catch
Only this manufacturer, and only in the aluminum badges signed DRGM.

Hello Jacek,

yes, on original Assmann Alu Pilot badges the DRGM can be found.

I doubt on this one the rivets and the wreath and eagle on obverse., hardly no deatail can be found there...or do you think it is only a sign of "heavy wear"??

Thanks and regards

Martin

Hallo Martin,

Thanks for showing these my friend, and keeping us up on the latest fakes on the market

I agree on the Meybauer, no doubt a fake.

I think the Assmann is an original though, just very worn and the catch is replaced.

Hi Martin
I do not see anything wrong. For comparison, my badge.

I recognize the pictures from the Beck website, stay away, fake dealer!
Many fakes mixed with some originals.

The PM marked badge has been around for awhile as a known Repro. Thanks for the heads up on this site. Buyer Bewary.
