Wehrwolf button fake on e-stand!

[Wehrwolf 1923]

I have just seen this Wehrwolf fake button on e-stand. I hope the buyer knows, that is only a fake button. Look at the eyes...

PS: I could not post a warning in the thread, because I'm not a full member.

Looks like a button for a German Fraternity Jacket.

The button is original.

The button is original.

Are you sure? Look at the bone on the left side?

[Robin Lumsden]

To me, it looks like this one.

I have another in magnetic Feldgrau, with a slightly different shape to the bones, eyes, etc.

I'm still have my doubts. The eyes look strange too. Please compare! I think the eyes are not the same.

Photos are difficult. I could be mistaken. But not all of these were identical. The feldgrau one I have is different in several ways from the silver one.

i saw that on the e-stand as well. it seemed strange to me that on the reverse, a star would be used as a mark. is this present on the one you have Robin?

[Johnny R]

Compare the backings to the one that was sold. That is the same as a PostWar button found on BW clothing. The skull or one very similar to it is also as I noted used by German Fraternities found on Fencing jackets I have personally seen.

The field grey button that I posted, looks like your skull Robin. The eyes holes look like 'real holes' (you can think, that you can see the button surface through the eyes!).

A look through the eyes holes of fake buttons does not show the button surface in my opinion.

The backside and the left bone are other reasons, because I don't like the sold button.

But who knows?
