Dear All,


Please find some badges for review.

I think that they are all original.
The last one on the far right I think is from War period.

What do you think?

The M1/63 is a difficult one to give an opinion about. Too many of them around IMO. Maybe Jo has examined one of these in the mean while? HJ/DJ Shooting awards are one of the most dangerous things to buy and collect.

Thanks Wim...in fact I am now completely lost....with these kind of badges...:i give up:
 
Yes agreed. At some stage this topic really does need to be looked at properly. With all examples out there being studied and compared.
It is a minefield for sure, and i am sure that many different fakes exist of these from way back to the 1970`s at least - because we know that (fake seller) WW2Ltd offered them for sale in their early 70`s catalog.. and quite possibly even earlier fakes... but in any case for sure a few different more modern fakes of these as well.
I would not judge any of the M1/63 badges just by images alone, and would really want to examine one first.

Believe me, your not the only one. I burned muself on a silver wreath M1/14 and a golden wreath M1/102. Now I only collect the standard version from one maker "M1/77" that I have trust in. But this maker made only the standard HJ version and the DJ version.

Like Jo I think that a close inspection of this badges is necessary but how to get on all these fakes -that are sold as real- for a cheap price. :Cry:

The photos are not the best.

It's not possible to say anything based on the pictures. In fact the badge must be investigated with a microscope to tell anything more...


Regards, Wim
 
I wouldn't say if it's original or not, but has certainly seen better days. I would wait for another one.
