Marineartillerieabzeichen - Fake?

[Landser I]

Hello,

could anybody help me with this badge? I would be happy about any info about originality.

Best regards

I compared it with some fake badges, and now I think it's a fake one too. Am I right?

you are correct - wrong hardware setup and wrong materials

[Landser I]

Many thanks! Just too many fakes of naval badges out there.

Yes I think you are right Landser,
it is a reproduction.
This one can normally be spotted by the poor cut out section on the left hand horizon.

Cheers
Doug

Is it a known type of fake? I haven't found another one with the same setup yet.

Often they will change the hardware set up, it is easier than changing the dies. They will continually try new set ups to fool those who study fakes. If you study originals, you will never be confused.
