Hi guys,


I could use a little help with this piece. Any red flags I might have overlooked? Your help is much appreciated.


Regards,

Hmmm, looks very suspicious to me.

I don't like the rivets, hardware or finish on the reverse. I feel this is a very well made fake. Daniel, can you provide some angled shots of the hardware?

A comparison to a genuine, textbook GWL badge (from Martin's Reichert's excellent collection).

Boy, that is 1 heck of a very well done fake
Fooled many I bet.

It has the typical smell of the Staegemeir products. Unbelieable. Return to sender...


Thanks!

These pictures stay on the WAF. If I find out, that these pictures appeared on a Belgian forum, the owner will be held responsible.

Thanks for the closeups Daniel, very good pics and help document this fake for the WAF collectors.
