Your opinion on a Marine Wound badge

[Kelenfold]

Hello
I would like to have your opinion on this badge, it seems to be made in Tombak, ( not magnetic )
I have had it in my collection for some time but I wonder, would it be a manufacture post WW1 ?
Thank You

Hi Gaetan,

well to be honest that badge is a type i don´t feel comfortable with and with that said i am not saying it´s a fake. But Soft details and a hardware i do not recognize from any maker regarded as original don´t feel right.

I have said it in the past and will repeat it again. These are a litterally mine field IMO.

Thank you very much for your message, I just saw that there are several posts on this subject.
I will do more research but I think we will always have a doubt ..

Hi Gaëtan,

I have to agree with Hans. It has characteristics of the post-WW2 S&L produced pieces but the finish almost looks newly spray painted and the hardware is trying to imitate late-WW1 to 30s style. All the factors do not gel for me so it's one I would not want to own.

Regards
Mike

Bonjour Mike
I looked at it well and it is made in tombak and with a manufacture and finish very close to Allgemeine Sturmabzeichen by Karneth that I have in my possession.
What do you think ?
