Hi
Have done a search without much success. Can someone please post some good clear pictures of an original badge?
thanks

Here you go Andy, a 1939. If you are considering buying one please obtain images & either post them here or send them to me. The Reichssieger (especially the 1938) has been convincingly faked.

Cheers
Don

Andy, the first tip off is the date. These were only made in 1938, 1939 and 1944. The first two years were enamel and the last was painted.

the biggest give-away of all surely must be the 'typo' in Reichssieger.... Cheers, Torsten.
