Abzeichen Fur Blockadebrecher - Schwerin

[HoundsTooth]

Gents,

I spotted this Blockade runner badge today - was quite excited as I've been after one. It is described as "a textbook example of a fine early quality Blockade Runner silvered tombak badge"
But... on closer inspection the reverse maker mark does not look right to me - the letters are too uniform. And on the obverse, the eagle's head and a few other details don't look correct.

What are other peoples views?

Many thanks in advance,
Nick

Hi Nick,

sorry to say but this is not an original Schwerin.

You are correct in your observations about the eagle and the maker mark.

Cheers,Martin.

Thanks Martin for your confirmation. I will steer clear and keep searching.
