SS-wiking badge

[axion9]

Hi!
Had this one up several months ago on the forum. (http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...4&page=2&pp=15)
New Opinions are welcome.
Detlev says it is 100% original.
Anyone seen it before?
Regards KJ

I saw the same badges. In ground dug condition either. I do not believe in this badge at all and I always consider that it was produced by Ukrainian fakers, who also produce metal sculls and runes for collar patches. But if DN says the badge is original - let he proves this statement, perod photos etc.

ALL dealers make mistakes, including Detlev.. , G.

Pimpf his statement is right, wartime photo`s are the big deciders on these!

Detlevs answer

I have asked Detlev about this one, his opinion is that it is original unless he gets proof of the contrary. He also says that he has seen this medal before rarely.

No one who got proof?

[Gaspare]

a9 , he is mistaken. the piece is bad.

I invite you, Detlev and anyone else that can get to Kiev the end of August to see a military show there. I will pay your entrance fee and introduce you to the man who had them made. After that the drinks are on you. , G.

more opinions please

more opinions please.

detlev says it is orignal but I am offered to send it back and get the money back if I want to. I do not want to make a misstake and afterward see that it is genuine.. If it is original I like it, if not I send it back.
Cheers!

I don't know if it is real or not as there seem to be good arguements on both side...you have to see what it cost you and decide if you are happy to live with that in case the piece is bad...keep in mind if the piece has a lifetime guarantee you can always return if it is proven fake so their is really no hurry, but then again you want to be fair to the seller and not return it after a few years if you so wish.

dilemma...

There must be more of these around the world, fake or not.
More opinions please.
