Allgemeines Sturmabzeichen JFS Good or Bad?

[sailorjerry]

Would like to post this JFS Badge, to me it looks sloppy made, and i feel it is a fake, but opinions most welcome..above the eagle head at top of badge, very sloppy looking..

Hello sailorjerry
Your suspicions are absolutely correct. This is indeed a fake. JFS only made numbered badges.

Yes, I completely agree with you and Brett, a fake badge and a very poorly executed one too. Apart from the fact that JFS didn't make this type of Allgemeines Sturmabzeichen, the quality is very crude.

[Brett]

This could almost be classed as a fake of a fake. The fake JFS Allgemeines Sturmabzeichen is generally of a high quality, if a dodgy badge could be
called such. This thing shown is poorly cast garbage.

True, here is my fake JFS bought before I knew any better......

This one is well made garbage!

[Brett]

Hello Adrian
This one has certainly taken its toll of collectors!

Oh yeah.........

I picked it up at a militaria fair pre internet days, the quality was so good it just had to be real.........!

[sailorjerry]

thanks all, wow that jfs on here looks super, i noticed too, since the internet, some people i dealt with 30 years ago, who would not touch a certain item, are now selling that item as original.. sad..

Its a fake indeed, JFS didn't produce avarage GABs only numbered ones.

Hello there,

There are authentic GAB's with reverse hardware riveted like the example posted, but they weren't produced by JFS and are unmarked.
