its generaly acknowledged that if its coffin shaped pin mount,its fake.
Thanks Harryamb2.
I too know that the coffin shaped pin base plate is put on hundreds of the modern reproductions but this one has a large oval pin plate.
If you look at the coffin plates they always have straight edges at both ends so I am still hoping that this is a good one

I think this is an original, if not horribly mixed up....

Hello Tom, Thanks for your promising response
I am fairly convinced that it is good but would like some more informed opinions.
I typed flugmeldedienst in to google images and a shedfull of these badges turned up...mostly on Germanwarbooty (I don't know how good their stock is) which are exactly this badge.
Many thanks
Doug

There's a link in this thread to WAF for further info. Yours looks good.

Thanks Tom,
I did have a look at that thread earlier but I think the Aurich badges were poo pooed somewhere later on in the forum world.
This badge has good provenance so I am still optimistically confident that it is good
All the best
Doug
I meant post #11, there's a link to WAF where they say that only ones marked like yours are original badges.

Hello Doug,

Thanks Tom, Thanks Alec.
Looks like it came up trumps then.
It was from an ex vet collection that also included a Pforzheim 1st class bar...
Happy Cat tonight
