wana1969 Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Hello, I am new to this site, not really too sure how it works so please forgive me. I have been collecting third reich militaria for nearly 10 years. I was wondering if any of you have seen this lapel badge before? i have no idea what it is, thank you so much for your time.

stewy Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Sorry Wayne as Kenny says no a period badge. Looks like a cast fantasy fake to me (seems to be pitted on the reverse). Stewy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wana1969 Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 Cheers Stewy! Ive just looked at the back of a few badges i know are genuine from dealers and i can see now what you both mean. Cheers guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
