Erdkampfabzeichen mit Etui Original?

[Tom Yanacek]

And here is another one that I just saw on an auction. I always thought this type had a chance of being original, but Andrei is right. Now they are popping up everywhere.

Best regards,
Tom

Just saw two more of these fakes listed in the same auction as the one shown in post #16. All three of these bear spurious G.H. Osang Dresden markings. The auction listing states, "unauthenticated- sold as is".

Best regards,
Tom

And here is one more from the same source. That now makes four from a single auction. The one thing these badges had going for them was that they were seldom seen until recently. Now, it seems, they are everywhere. I think we can safely assume that they are total fakes.

Good eye Tom, should have noticed the difference in the eagles.
