Hello, I own this badge luft of brilliant finish, marked JMME & SOHN. BERLIN.

It seems unpainted, new, not worn.

What is your opinion on it?

Thanks for your interest .

Very nice JMME ROAG. It look polished to the nickel silver and this is why its so shiny, great badge.

Hi Joel
Your badge is an original JMME ROAG. In my opinion it has been cleaned and polished.

Agree with Seb and Joël. Original JMME ROAG, unfortunately with heavy cleaning on the front. Eagle back looks much better, then front. Better pictures needed to see, if any original silver frost finish left on the front of the wreath.

Sorry guys, but I think this badge is completely refinished with new silver finish. The way it completely covers the hinge, pin and even rivets is not typical of JMME finishes. Also notice the bubbling on the reverse of the wreath, not what we typically see with JMME wartime finishes.

The badge is original, but with modern refinishing it destroys the value IMO.

Hello, other photos in USB.

It seems to me to see a rest of gray paint (arrows).

Polishing that was done post-war or during the conflict?

Hope to read you.
