The case is a modern fake and the badge is an oustanding Hammer. Green of envy...

Yes, The case is a Fake. The piece is a very good Hammer und Söhne.

[Tony Bologna]

One of the best condition LWGAB that I have seen

Condition is remarkable for a hammer lgab.
Most of these are dull grey, this one is well preserved.

[Thomas Durante]

AGREED, perhaps one of the best Hammer & Sohn LGABs we have ever seen posted. Just gorgeous condition.

Case is fake unfortunately as the others have said.

Hi guys,

IMO this is not a Hammer & Sohn. It is the type that looks very similar, but definitely not a "textbook" Hammer & Sohn. The badge that started this thread is the questionable type that is frequently confused with the Hammer & Sohn. I am still not certain of this type, but many have called it a fake in past discussions. Please see my postings in the linked thread, beginning with post #7.

The badge on the left is the questionable type, just like the one that started this thread. The one on the right is a "textbook" Hammer & Sohn.

[Tom Yanacek]

Here is the reverse:

Questionable type on left and "textbook" Hammer & Sohn on the right. Way too many differences here. Look at the cutout areas and the overall outlines of the badges.

[Tom Yanacek]

The badge in question (top) has a sheet metal hinge with a wider base flange that covers the cut-out area above the eagle. The single rivet has a nicely-domed head.

The Hammer & Sohn (bottom) also has a sheet metal hinge, but with a narrower flange that leaves the cut-out area above the eagle visible. The single rivet is more flattened rather than domed.

[Tom Yanacek]

The catches and catchplates on both the badge in question (top) and the Hammer & Sohn (bottom) look identical.

can not see anything from the original post ?

I agree with Tom Y. This one is very late (modern) dangerous fake. This type of fake badges pops up all over the world. Here is the example from one of Russian forums.
And previous discussions on the WAF forum
