No one has shown the backside view so fakers would still have to guess how it is attached. Unless you have seen a real one and made exact measurements, there is no way to get it right....they still haven't even filled in the nose hole yet, so there is no way they would get the back correct.

The link is dead now so at least that is one hole filled. Thanks for posting the beautiful original pieces very nice to see named researched examples

Fakes

I have seen the best generation of fake breast badges. They look good on a Monitor, but in hand....NO DICE. The originals are very well made.

I think you should not have posted that link.

There is no need to show detailed photos of the reverse of a badge that is not well known to fakers yet.

Yes Bob, not a good move...

Hi all

What would a set of these cost to the collector, if you could find a real set??

ThanksIain

P.S. First post on this forum.

[Richard P]

I know one forum member who has pulled two originals out of SOS shows for not a lot of money. The deals are there if you take the time to look.

Welcome Ian!

Dr. Strangelove, do you have any photos of these better fakes?

Thanks! Chris

Fake

Here is a good fake.

[Felix]

I believe that is the best fake around regarding these badges and the same one as the good Dr is refering to.

That indeed is the one that the Dr is talking about.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Yup

Thats Her, cast and painted silver aluminum and built to steal. Cast directly from an original. My Red inks points the slop you won't find on a real piece. Thieves are everywhere Boys and they are out to Steal and Steal BIG !

[SSgentleman]

phew

that fake looks good on screen, would had sure fool me. Herr ssgentleman is lacking an original one so will proceed with extra caution. Bad Kharma if hawking a fake for big time money

I haven't seen the back of these badges. Would someone please send me a photo of one for my files? I'd appreciate it a lot, please.

Pm me for e-mail address.

Thanks for the pic. Man, I'm glad I saw this before I started looking for one. I wonder if these are the correct size.
