That`s really a strange badge.Not easy imo to say good or bad.I like some details and i do not like some details.

On the other hand.I see never a copy in this quality before.Not a textbook badge.But i want also not say it is a copy to fast.Measurments could be helpfull.

The reverse is putting me off slightly. What do you think about the cutouts Joachim?

The cutouts shoult be o.k. Adrian imo.What don´t like you on the cutouts Adrian?

More than more i look and compare this badge,than more i like it.A few things that hit my eayes in the first moment.The die is not in a good quality.But it could be,that the die was not always was cleaned.

My personal opinion is going to a good badge.But i said it.It´s not a easy badge.But i can also not believe in a copy.

I can see no problems to speak of with this badge. The silvering is almost 100% intact and the badge body is nearly perfect. It ticks the boxes.

Hi,i am no expert on these super scarce badges but it does look good to others i have seen on the forum that were agreed to be good.Was there also something about a small "pimple! on the snakes nose on the originals,this one does not have one but thats my only observation. I will say that Jamie Cross has always sold me good quality original items,but i guess we can all make mistakes from time to time. Leon.

A rare badge.

[Kradmelder]

Sorry guys,but for me was it in the first moment not easy to say good or bad for 100% sure.

And i would also never say Jamie Cross is not a good dealer.But every good dealer was in the past also wrong with the one or other badge.I will never look to the dealer.Only to the piece,what i can see.It`s not possible to know all details in this hobby.

Happy collecting

I absolutely agree Joachim,i was just stateing he has a decent reputation!What do you think about the "pimple" issue on the nose of the snake?Am i right in thinking originals of this award should have one? I would like to know one way or the other just so i can learn if it is a fact,or just a variation, thanks, Leon.

The "pimple" it is not always to see on original Bandenkampfabzeichen.Juncker used a few different tools for the APB production.The type 1 badges are more easy to say good or bad imo,than the type 2 badges like this badge in this thread.

I have sometimes problems in the first moment with this type 2 badges,when the important fingerprints are not good to see.Sometimes hard for me to give a opinion only from pics.

But after looking and comparing i like this badge also.
