Hello Jussi

Nice looking badges
Wouldn’t mind some more pictures of the mm 18 and L/17

Sorry but the black L/11 looks like a Floch fake to me
any change of more pictures of that one too?

Cheers,
Ronny

Jussi, sorry as Ronny has said - that "Deumer" BWB does not look good, the hinge stinks of a Floch Can you post some side on pics of the "Deumer"?

I think i will offer sledge hammer for it.I have read here on WAF and GCA and this L/11 seems to be bad.It is my first bad wb and second in whole collection(another one was "funnyfaces" Sudeten medal).

I gotta be more careful next time when buying bigger sets of wbs.

Jussi, don't sledge hammer it, keep it in you're hall of horrors - we all have one - they are good references for fakes.

It happens to us all at one time or another, once in a while unfortunately we all take a hit - have a search on my EK2's that I got 20 plus years ago ;(

Thanks for the extra pictures Jussi much appreciated

Your black 18 is IMO not an 18 but a 81, could you give us
a shot of the catch just to make sure.

And you don’t see a silver L/17 every day, very nice

Sorry about the L/11 but as Mike says keep it as a reminder instead
of smashing it.

Cheers,
Ronny

I agree keep the fake WB, mark it as "fake" and put it in the box of painful memories.

The rest is very nice, I like the silver L/17 but what happened to the side of it. It looks grinded down or something?

I dont know is it battledamage or what on L/17.Looks like leftside is grinded somehow.But i bought it anyways as it is quite rare one.

Hehe,not too painful memory as these bwbs are quite cheap.But i can imagine person who buys fake German Cross in Gold or Knights Cross of Iron Cross on full price.

I will save the badge from the hammer.
