Very nice observer set!!Both looks fine.In my opinion a unmarked Assmann badge.

I have to disagree here. Its not an original one in my opinion. Totally different rivets and hinge for an Assmann, the wreath is also not good. The case is also fake I think. Here is mine observer to compare:

Did any other maker use the reverse setup such as on Damien's badge?

Is there any history behing the badge? Was it from the Major like your other pieces?

No set-up, no eagle etc like this Adrian.

Janos is right,with the wreath and the set up.Sorry i was to fast with my first opinion!Have the eagle a chance to be a original Assmann.Massed badge or complete fake?

This one belongs to my friend from whom I would hope to buy all the awards of his I have posted recently. All I know is he has been collecting a lot longer than I have and has owned it for years. That in itself is no guarantee of anything...maybe some others on here will know more. It will be a shame if it is wrong as its the only one so far that could be.

Comparing the eagle on János' badge and Damien's, there are differences in the details between them.

**JERSEY 34** · 03-13-2012, 08:10 PM

Were the eagles/wreaths exactly the same from maker to maker. And no disrespect to Janos or his badge I actually prefer the look of my friends to his example. As I say I don't know enough about these things to make an expensive mistake. Hope someone comes up with more encouraging news.
All the best and thanks for the input so far.

There are subtle differences in wreaths between makers, some makers borrowed wreaths from other manufacturers and there are variations from the same maker. I'm sure the other guys can elaborate and explain better than I.
