These "cut out" badges are a WW1 variant, but i don't like this one as the detail is quite poor.

Hello Andreas
This hinge & pin setup will be seen on numerous dodgy Ebay & Ioffer type Verwundetenabzeichen.
Send this one back. It is no good. This is not the type of hardware that you will find on authentic
period examples.

Regards
Brett

hi , i would send it back if you can , apart from the reverse hardware not being a period type , this badge looks to be cast . not something i have ever seen before . all i have encountered have been die/struck hollow type ....pavel

Lads ive 10 mins to decided on this one is it real or fake thanks

[Rob truscott]

Looks to be in the same fake league . ie strange pin and the rear is a cast not sharply defined as you see on the stamped examples .

[Fitzer]

These two are also on offer any opinions on these? I left the other one go thanks for the advice tob

[Gunny Hartmann]

Both look good to me!...
