Nürnberg RPT 1929 in silver good or bad?

[Thomas Bendixen]

Hi everyone

Been offered this one but are in doubt, details are really good, but it has a rough texture, very visible on the helmet. Also a dieflaw near the "1919". The needle plate also looks strange. Weight and heigt seems to add up with my period bronze piece.

Don't be affraid to post your gut feeling

Looks typical to me...geschutz seems to have an I after it Or is that an extra T....does that seem unusual to anyone else?

Thomas, your badge looks fine to me.

[Thomas Bendixen]

Thanks for the input guys, concerning the extra T it matches the spelling on other Hoffstätter badges.

Anyone else has an opinion?

I have a bronze with rough texture by same maker

Thanks John, what worries me here are the strange holes in the needle plate. Haven't seen anything like it on other pieces.

I'm not sure what the technical term for it is, but could the holes (stress fractures?) be from the metal "ripping" when it was stamped into this shape?

Thanks guys forbruge reassuring comments, lets see if I get the badge.

There are two tiny flaws on this badge which is indentical to a sliver badge I have.
First at the bottom of the G a tiny dent and on the B a tiny raised spot.

I also have a bronze badge with the same flaw on the G, I have noticed this flaw on the G on several of this type of badge.

Hello Steve,

which G are you referring to? I never noticed the flaw on the B!

The G in Nurnberg, at the 25 past position , a small dent and on the B a tiny dot at the 20 past position.
Both exactly the same as mine so I would assume a die flaw.
