Hi Alex,
what for an uncommon Erdkampfabzeichen you have found there! I have never seen this obverse design before and the three way rivetting with this kind of rivet shape also i have never seen before.
Finish, set-up looks for me absolutly believable. I like this badge!cool Militaria

Hi Al,
TBH, I don't like it. The obverse design is that of an Osang badge yet the reverse is based on the 3 rivet type used on the R.K (Rudolf Karneth) badge and also the M u. K 5 (Metall u. Kunstoff 5) design. Both of these manufacturers are the only known users of the 3 rivet fixing for the eagle, BUT both types use only wide pins and flat wire catches, not the same as the round wire pin and catch of yours. I haven't seen this exact mixed maker set up as a fake before, but i'm pretty certain it was never used on a genuine badge, marked or unmarked. I would try and get your money back if I was you, unless others here think differently.
Regards, Ned.

Obverse design is not "Osang" for me. The three time rivetting is of course normaly only to find on the R.K and M. u. K.5 badges. When it is a fake i have also not seen this anytime before.

The hinge plate is strange to me as well, I can't recall that type off hand.....

Gents, I'm confused. That means an attempt is failed? No any chance?

I'm also confused! But I reiterate, this badge does not match any known Erdkampfabzeichen out there, it's almost like it's a hybrid to me, and there are too many things that don't sit right. I honestly think that many collectors would be very wary of this piece and that's bound to affect it's value because of these reasons.
There's plenty of other far less controversial LGAB's available as far as i'm concerned.
