Would really appreciate some more informed comments on this badge.

Here is a scan from Forman's book "Guide To Third Reich German Awards...And Their Values" to help bring some more information forward in regard to 1st and 2nd type badges.

The first badge is not a bad effort but I agree a copy. If you are going to go to this much effort to fake probably the rarest badge out there you could at least get the eagles beak right
Maker marks are also very blurred and should be crisp. Here are photos of one that I have just purchased with the round rivits which is on the way to me.

And I thought the Coburg Badge was rare at 436 awarded!

And I thought the Coburg Badge was rare at 436 awarded!

Seems like the coburg badge just lost it's rarity status.

Actually, i've seen many of these cultural badges lately. Compared to the few Coburg's that shows up for sale, only seen one first pattern in two years. And i've seen a number between 3-5 RZM coburg's, but i'm sure i've seen 15-20 Reichskultursenat badges in the past two years (All different numbers) . I even think a cased beauty was sold on militaria321. But still not common

Patrick, you may wish to contact Weitze as he's included the badge you bought in his update today

Cheers
