[PeterCollector]

Hello, thanks for all comments and opinions. So there are several comments about this badge, it is interesting that this badge looks very nice and there are a chance to be authentic.

Ned, thanks for your comment and photo of original example. Thanks also to others which thinks this badge is authentic. I only know that all badges comes from one source and I´m sure that there were original and copy badges - this is the worst thing ever, because you have to study each of them and there is still chance to find original, or buy a copy I don´t like this kinds of trades, but its just happen all the time

Best regards

Peter

There are indeed two different die sets for the Schwerin zinc Coastal Artillery badge. Type 1 is for all Tombak production and some zinc whereas Type 2 is exclusively in zinc. Comparison attached.
