Hey guys, this badge is my brothers and im pretty sure its a fake, firstly it has two makers names on the back and also appears to have the 'coffin style pin', but its always good to have a second opinion,
Thanks, Glen.

I would say it is fake, that pin is no good

It is a 4th reich fantasy item.

Coffin is the appropriate term for this form, I agree with those above.

All bad.

I have nothing to add except that this thing does not carry markings from two different makers - just "from" "Deschler und Sohn".

Hochachtungsvoll,

Hey guys, i totally agree with all your points which i made earlier but just posted it to see if there are any other big mistakes on it (apart from the whole badge itself

)
Thanks, Glen.

Well I guess if we are going to pick at a Fantasy item I will add that it would have to be "britische" not "britisch".

Haha, cheers Eric

Thanks, Glen.

I have learned this from Andreas and here is his explanation hope this helps all understand.

As a native speaker of German, I can assure you that it is simply and plainly wrong. The endings depend on factors such as gender, grammatical case and number.

For example, the basic adjective is Deutsch-britisch (= German-British), but it is Deutsch-britische Freundschaft (= German-British Friendship).
Another example: Britischer Soldat (= British Soldier), but Britische Soldaten (= British soldiers)

No matter at what market such a badge was directed, a German manufacturer - particularly one as experienced and renowned as Deschler - would not get the endings wrong!
