Silver Wound Badge Hollow Back

[HERMSDORF]

Hi Friends,
My latest catch is this Silver WB "hohl gebödet" -Hollow back. A Variation I´ve never seen before. I think it must be rather rare?

Unfortunately a fake that has been quietly infiltrating the Euro market for the last few years.

Really??????????

I´m shocked! Normally I collect only decorations by ground dugging but for this one I´ve paid just 20 euros at the flee market and because of the low Price and the high Quality needle system I was damned sure that this must be an Original.. What the hell

I agree with Mike, these came to light not so long ago.

This is a known fake from UK, whan started some time ago was issued with bogus L/127 bag;s...not destroy it leave it in the junk box would be a great reference in the years that come with the new fakes...

But if you already decide to destroy it post some photos of it here...

Love it.
I wish more people would do this.
Instead they put it in the junk drawer and you know that some day, either
the owner or someone else once the owner dies will dig it out of the drawer
and put it back on the market to be bought by another poor sap!
Don't worry they still have the pics of it.

..Sorry Hans I was too angry..

Pics i have already of these but nothing compares to handle the fakes.
Another one will surface some day...

Well done...great tools

Although imo much better if started with the hardware first etc...slowly slowly until the final demolish..
