Hi Andreas.

While you wait for people to post try and do a search for similar badges using the search field upper right corner, perhaps that can help you in determining whether or not this is a good one. Chance is that other members have asked the same question

My best, Chris

An original design of riveted hinge and clasp Andreas - just a poor cast pot metal copy of it I am afraid.

ALWAYS look at the detail - sharp features = usually good, soft features = nearly always bad!

Yes, a fake badge. The giveaway is the fact the riveted hinge and catch plates aren't actually riveted at all but cast in as part of the badge.

Hi Guys

This one is indeed bad and referred to as the 4-rivet fake. The fakers like this obverse design and it can be found with several different hardware set ups.

Here is another thread on these.
