Hey guys, need your thoughts and opinions on this Kriegsabzeichen für Hilfskreuzer.

Not an original unfortunately. This is a 'Cave Creek' repro. There are many features which differ from original Schwerin badges, mainly the soft details and the geographical locations of countries on the map, Newfoundland is incorrectly placed compared to an original and the U.K. should not be joined to France for example. Also, the curvature of the globe on this badge is non existant. If you look, it almost seems as if it could be pointed. Note also the fitting of the globe within the wreath, original badges were much tidier and fitted better.

Adrian's right in all he says.The catch is post war style too. Stewy
