Assmann Panzerkampfabzeichen - Fake

[StuG III]

I take it that this is a fake? Not seen this hardware on a Assmann badge before. Thanks for your opinions.

This is what it should look like.

I agree Tom!
I am not an expert but, I have never seen one with hardware the same as the first one posted.

Thanks Ralph, I agree.

I think its a fake, but even it would be an original, the hinge and pin is a replacement and the swastika is also damaged, you should pass on this one IMO.

I also don't like the area between the barrel and chassis.

Thanks Janos, exactly my intention.

Agreed Ralph, that step is totally wrong.

Sorry Tom the first one you've shown is a fake. Strangled chicken look to it. Stewy

Thanks Stewy, luckily not mine. :-)

Hello there,

I can only agree, the badge that started the thread is not authentic and nothing like originals.
