NOT ME thats for sure.
Weitze would return your money if you bought his for 600 euros and then told him what?They state, loud and clear on their website that they "Do not accept certificates of authenticity or opinions from anybody"!
Yes, they may give you your money back, but they would relist it the same day again for sale, and it would be bought by someone else.
I dont know if their badge is bad or good, and i dont care i dont collect them, all i am saying is that it would be really easy to work out which ones are good, if you had them.
Something that nobody has done to date - hence the many many fakes and fakes of fakes etc ...
no one said you would , because anyone with half a brain would know youd have done it already...
well theres two many chiefs and not enough indians there because i returned a pennant to them as i wasnt happy in hand the scan made the colors different it was more faded in hand i just wasnt happy and i got my doe , i would also ask if it was possible to return it the same day after i had it in hand , for any reason i didnt like it in hand and not happy or i wouldnt buy it, i bet the $ would win there
i also bought a summer BDM leaders insignia there had it a few months and then was told it was copy , i was sure it wasnt , i told Alexej at weitzes to see what they said and i was offered to return it and was told it came in a grouping of trade items but to be sure if i wasnt happy just return it
so thats twice i got my money back.
neither do i for certian but what i can tell you its the best seen yet nearly one on one with a silver from S&L , still i know this AINT good enough
''all i am saying is that it would be really easy to work out which ones are good, if you had them.'' and i agreed with you and know this already, it can be done for as little as ten pound aswell !!
by Buying a USB scope and comparing magnified images of it and a few ''known'' original period badges. (those who have them would be best job for that) but hey you know its never gonna happen as it would be tears !
i am now going to try and get the weitze badge for 500 get a return on it and then put it on layaway , some hassle for a possible return but i would like an original example , i dont want to collect them , that would way to hard ! for a mere mortal like myself anyway
