Morigi fake
Is this a morigi fake pb.?

Yes it is , John ! Typical Morigi marked fake which throws some collectors off as actual glass enamel is used rather than the easy bake plastic crap. Incidentally , RZM & Ges Gesch Marked badges do exist but are tough to find.
Ratisbons is also selling that fantasy/post war Luft West Front award....by John Brandon
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

Some "bad apples" in the enamel badge selection on the auction as well.
Yes That's what I thought - Caveat Emptor - Surprised he's got away with that one (or 3)
If you contact Mr. Butschek with a ground reason, he will remove them from the sale. Did it several times when he had Floch EKs up for bidding on Ratisbon's and he usually has a good listening ear for his customers.

He's also listed a silver grade PAB (Juncker) for sale as a tombak version.

This is unlikely as there's only one or two known to be in existence so far, and he's previously done the same thing with another identical badge that sold for BIG money. That was returned and resold at a later auction correctly described.
That one proved to be the regular nickel silver type, as the one currently in the auction appears to be. Somewhat bizzarely though he's (probably under advice) now dropped the word 'Juncker' from the description yet left in the word 'tombak'.
This is an error, the badge IS a Juncker made badge, yet it's extremely unlikely it's tombak, and the images for me, bear this out. The price difference between the two types would be significant IF the badge were tombak, which in my opinion it is not.
Regards, Ned.
