    Black Wound Badge with wide pin

    Would like to verify the authenticity of this brass black wound badge. It is in near mint condition, marked # 4 .

    That is a very crude S&L fake IMO

    Don´t throw away your fake WB´s! Get in touch with me.
    I collect them for reference purposes for the benefit of the hobby (for the right "fake" price of course).

          Is it a fake? Or is it an original with crudely replaced hardware and repainted reverse?

            Ok, i am prepared to give it the benefit of doubt. But i would like to see some straight taken pics of the obverse and reverse if possible.

              I second that - at least then there will be a decent chance to compare die characteristics with known genuine S&Ls.

                Mike take a look the thickness of the edge characteristic point of hollow fakes bearing the #4 or L/16 beyond the set up, repaired or not.
                If my memory serves me well only F&B WB has such thicness.

                These copy are made in Germany and exist solid issues as well.

                Best,
