1939 Gausieger badge

[Dennis S]

My friend picked up this badge and and asked me my opinion . It is not in my field of collecting . I checked previous threads and I see this badge and maker is closely copied . I would appreciate an expert opinion of those with good familiarity of these badges.

Thanks to all that can help.

Thank you all, I will report a victory.

What is the rarity/desirability on this 1939 model and maker?

[stuart a.]

gausiegers are always available so not really rare and brehmer was the only maker of these, but still a badge people like to own

Dennis, here is a link to 3 fake Sieger badges I have for sale on the estand. Note the 1938 Gausieger and you can compare to see the differences.

Very Nice

Nice badge, Good Creamy Ivory off white enamel, Good Undamaged HJ diamond, lost most of its obverse Silverwash but reverse still holds true. Good score, Congrats.
