Gold Woundbadge marked 30 Floch ?

[chrisje110]

Hello Collectors,

I recently bought this 30 marked Gold Woundbadge. I have been told this is copy, but I have never seen one like this before. Is this a copy made by Floch ?

Thanks for your opinions !

You have probably seen this already, but there is an "L/14" marked Floch in post #6 of this thread.

It seems very simulair, is this a fake ?

[Hans N]

Yes that is a Floch fake. Compare the flaws in the dot pattern and compare them to another known Floch and you´ll find they match each other 100%

This Floch L/14 GWB badge was given to me for free by a fellow collector for reference purposes ages ago. I highligthed some of the matching anomalies that are like fingerprints and once one have learned them a Floch is very easy to detect

[Thomas Durante]

I agree, fake.

Nice work Hans
