enamel flak tinnie

[vitts]

I have seen this tinnie around before. I found this particular one today at an antique store for $6. I think it looks good but the pin appears to have been replaced. (overheated at that ) what do you think?

wrong kind of pin /// looks like it was a replacement due to heat and skorch marking

Flugmeldedienst abzeichen (Air Warning service badge)
These badges were made only by and always marked J. Preissler, Pforzheim. and they all were serialized but not higher then five digits.

James,
should these badges then be considered reproduction if they are found with a maker mark other than that of Preissler?

Thanks,Martin.

Martin,
From what I have read about these dadges and the few I have handled including the one I have, yes that is my opinion.

James,
Many thanks,
Martin.
