REAL or FAKE - Silberes SA-Sportabzeichen

**thecyclist64** · 02-10-2019, 02:45 PM

Good afternoon everybody, my third offering today is the Silberes SA-Sportabzeichen, which I have concerns about.

It is marked RZM M1/100, not the usual W.Redo. I took a chance on it as it was quite cheap

Two questions: one, is it genuine? and two, is it silver?

Although the construction appears good, I have never seen one marked in this manner.
I have never seen a semi-hollow version before either.

Hello
There is only known three makers of these and never with an rzm nr.

Sorry to say, but this is a fake badge.
I sometimes wonder why do those idiotic fakers put these ridiculous markings? But I hope they will continue doing that, for example this RZM mark indicates that this is 100% fake badge.
Regards,
Peter

Hi guys, thanks for the opinions. I have done a little more research and there seems to be a difference of opinion on this badge over on the WAF site. Any thoughts after reading these two threads?

That is possible, as I stated, the construction of this one looks good to me. I have just never seen one marked like this before.

I'm now of the opinion that it is bronze and not silver, even though it was sold to me as silver and in the poor light of the venue, it was hard to tell. Still, if it is real and rare, then the ridiculously cheap price I paid for it more than makes up for it being bronze. I have seen one on the net priced at nearly three times what I paid for mine - must be the rarity value.
