Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

Re: PanzerKampf Abzeichen !!
Hello Paul,
I am not liking this one so far. The cupola is too pointed and the space between the barrel and the hull is wrong. The grass area also appears to have too much detail for a F&R produced badge. Here is my bronze with the low maker mark and my silver for comparison.
Please wait for others to comment before throwing it out though.

Hi Paul,
It appears to be artificially aged to make it look ground dug. Unfortunately I have to agree with ALL of Ralph's concerns, as he is correct in each one. This is a well known fake that appears in semi hollow form as well as the above solid, with the higher maker mark, no maker mark and 'Massif' varients all copied. Below is an exact example of your badge, the problems being easier to see.
Regards, Ned.
