Authentic or fake – Allgemeines Sturmabzeichen

[wildkatz22]

After I found this forum, I read threads and went through my collection to see which seemed obvious fakes and which I thought were good. I am posting what is left in my collection ( after I removed the items that I thought were fakes ) and I would very much appreciate your comments and thoughts as to the authenticity. I took as good pictures as I possibly could.

This is my stamped Allgemeines Sturmabzeichen.

Thanks to all in advance for your thoughts and comments.

Looks OK to me.

Cheers, Ade.

Very rare original GWL, mostly can found in rough condition with repairs.

Can some one please let me know what makes you say that it is an original?

Thanks

I must admit that this is the first time I've seen someone ask for an explanation as to why the badge is authentic...??
It is authentic due to the fact that it conforms to known originals of same badge by same maker, more than that I cannot add. Hope this helps.

StuG III,

Thanks for the clarification. It's amaizing how much experience you and the others have here. I just had difficulty figuring out who the manufacteror was due to my lack of experience.

Thanks again
