Hi Tom, I have cropped and enlarged your pics to make them a bit better
One easy way to spot this fake from just the front is to look at the tank's tracks. See how they look like "dumb bells"? This feature is not found on any original design of Panzerkampfabzeichen.
Cheers, Ade.
thats what i thought. thanks for clearing this up...tom

i dont want to open a new topic i click search and already i find this person open this topic ...someone try to sell this badge ...this is only the one picture send to me its ok or fake a simple answer from your eye expert
K98, Sorry, but in my opinion, it would be impossible to give a decent opinion on this badge from this extremely low quality photograph. At the very least, a photo of the reverse side would be needed as well as clearer frontal photos. If this photo is all that the seller will give you, I would recommend passing on it.

I would agree with William.
Cheers, Ade.

I will go one step further and say it's a fake badge. The wreath is very poor and has very soft details, there is no cutout between the gun barrel, wreath and front of the tank. In my opinion, a poorly cast fake.
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
