Parachutist Badge by Assman hinge question

[andya]

Hi
Having gone through previous threads I cannot find an original Assman badge with a catch like this.Also, the catch looks smaller than some of the others posted. Am I correct in assuming this is a reproduction.
Thanks
Andy

You are correct...

Hi Andy, you are indeed correct. Note the 1957 style pin too.


Cheers, Ade.

Hi Andy, not good. MM looks a little overdone also. Is it yours? All the best.

Hi
Thanks for the replies. No this is not mine but one for sale on a uk auction site. I like these badges but they are exspensive and I need to be 100% certain on originallity before I take the plunge.I am getting to spot some of the obvious signs of the copies but have a long long way to go
Thanks again
Andy
