opinions on badge - help needed!

[Military]

Any opinions on this coburg badge? i was told most were solid and none were hollowed out. I'd like to hear some opinions on this one.
i have other concerns also but i'd like to hear first.

many thanks.

Definitely a reproduction, and likely an older fake=the newer reproductions are, in some cases, more accurate. The easiest way to tell these are bad are the missing 'dots' between the wording and the dates at 4:00 and 8:00. After you get past that, nearly every detail and construction type is incorrect.
I hope it wasn't too expensive!

This is a Fake.

Original badges are very rare and expensive. Use do care and do your homework on these badges before purchasing one.

dear gentlemen, could you enlighten me why this might be a fake?

The best way to answer your question is to look at The Coburg Badge thread and compare yours to the three original badges posted there to see the many differences.
