Kenny Andrew Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Sorry these are all copies other than the last one which is an original marksmanship lanyard badge. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domenic Parisella Posted October 8, 2023 Author Share Posted October 8, 2023 Thank you so much Kenny I was wondering if you could give me any ideas on how you spotted these to be fakes I’m really trying to learn this stuff 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Andrew Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 These are all cast copies originals should be die struck , there is also no detail to the badges. If you look at the Iron cross you can see it is only made from one piece instead of three parts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddieq Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Kenny is spot on- also for future reference, the Luftwaffe Panzer badge is really, really, really rare. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick chong Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Hey Gentlemen, Please identify the " The General Assault Badge 25" pretty rare in the market, only some soldier received the general assault badge after 25 fights, most die in the fight. It would be appreciated if someone could give their opinions on its Genuinity 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Allgemeines Sturmabzeichen für 25 Kampftage Always difficult to tell with these badges, as they are highly faked and very expensive. This example looks good, but I cannot say for certain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see, it could be too good to be true, were they suppose to have some markers behind or even with markers it doesn't prove anything. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Andrew Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 This one should not be maker marked as it is a Juncker, however I would not be 100% comfortable with this badge, especially the pin and retainer which lack the quality usually encountered on Juncker's numbered PAB's. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gildwiller1918 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 The detail on the badge looks ok, most fakes are not that detailed. As Fritz said, these are very rare, meaning lots of fakes. This badge along with others such as the Panzer version command quite a price. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
