Hi , the Adler's head looks poor to me but maybe it is just the angle of the picture. I would add that for a Scherwin badge ,the quality does seem a bit lacking but again , maybe it is just the effect from the "flash". Leon.
It's a definate fake.
The maker mark is incorrect,as is the reverse hardware.
It is supposed to be tombak example but features a circular catch plate that is found on zinc awards.
Could be a Staegemeir fake but i haven't looked at his site lately.
Definately not an original Schwerin IMO.
Regards,Martin.
Thank you Martin! I appreciate you guiding me around a common pitfall in this hobby!
Best,
Anzel
Glad to be of help Anzel.
Out of curiosity,was this badge for sale on a dealer site or was it from a private seller ?
Cheers,Martin.
Private seller near me. He bought it from "go antiques" who ever they are... Why have you seen it before?
Never seen it before Anzel.
I was just trying to determine if Staegemeir was the possible maker ?
His website is inaccessible right now "due to maintenance".
Cheers,Martin.
