**matthewsq** · 08-03-2011, 08:59 PM

Hey guys,

So this has been offered to me for $300, and I am wondering is it worth? Its labelled as "solid spanish condor legion tank badge"

Thanks!

Sorry this is a poor cast fake of a rare badge.

Cheers, Ade.

Do you live in Vancouver? There is a guy that has been trying to sell a badge like this one forever with no luck.

THanks! Haha, yeah. Vancouver. I've been offered quite a few fake items here :|

Yes, that is indeed true. There is quite an abundance of dealers here in Vancouver that have an assortment of many, many fake and reproduction items sold as 'originals', so always be weary.

I agree with Bob-looks like it was cast in a High School metal shop. William

Yeah, for example the "authentic SS dagger 1936 model" It had a BEAUTIFUL and oh-so-authentic plastic handle.

I thought it might be helpful to show what a couple of originals look like to compare with the horror of this fake. Note all are hollow backed.

There are several production varients of these badges as they were intitially produced in Portugal and locally in Spain, finally later being made in Germany. Hence the different dies and pins used.

Cheers, Ade.
