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.

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.
