John, Tom's badge and David North's badge are the only ones that I would be comfortable having in my collection.

This is most confusing.
When I decided to search for and eventually secure one of these quite enigmatic, special and rare event badges, I knew exactly what I was looking for. As such, the one that I hold sits jolly comfortably with myself.
I fully support what Erich has said and which is obviously based on painstaking research, although having said, a fundamental question is waiting to be asked.
Why should those intent on deception produce a badge which is so obviously different from that, regarded by many as the definitive?
Here is a photo merge of the badge that John "linked" and the one that I hold.
Totally different!
Rather akin to the fakers stamping FAKE on their badge, as it is not really rocket science to spot the blazingly obvious differences.
Regards,
David

David, like the 29 RPT badge, I think there was only one maker for the actual badge sold at the events rather than those made later when these badges gained honor status. With that being said, there would have no reason IMO, for there to be more than one maker of these badges. It's well known that the 31 Treffen badge, both types is one of the most faked meeting badge. Yours is one of only a few that I think is one hundred percent original.

To say that there was one maker of the badge at the time period, or that the version with stamped letters is the only correct version is of course speculation and you can see that my version with the raised letters is different than the copy version of which there are many.
I have studied the Brunswick Treffen badges for some time now with my interest being aroused with the proliferation of the copies (both the first and second pattern badges).
Stick a fork in me I am done.

Hello all, sorry for my tardiness in getting back to the thread.
Gentlemen, the example that the late Dr. Klietmann illustrates as original is a match to my example with the raised lettering.
A most easy to spot difference is the top of the "A" in "S-A". My example took a hit at the beak.
The Klietmann example has uniformity in the lettering spelling the word "BRAUNSCHWEIG" while the examples with recesses have the letters at different sizes as an artistic preference. My point is simply that IMO there are more than one period produced example and the Dr. is illustrating my version.
