A nice example of the Wurster solid zinc (KWM) marked Panzerkampfabzeichen in silver with the "Classic set up" of a small tombak block hinge and '?' shaped catch that's mounted on a small circular plate. This particular badge is finished with a brennlack coating that has stood up well.

Thanks.
I was a little concerned as this badge is faked to an excellent degree by Herr Staegemeir, so much so that in a few years from now the fake will be fooling many collectors once it has a bit of age and patina to it.
But there are a couple of "tells" to it that help distinguish it from the original, and one of these is the flaw arrowed on the fake badge below.
Your original photo's are rarely a straight on shot obverse and reverse, rather more a mosaic of smaller areas, and this makes it difficult to make a 100% confirmation on a badges originality by seeing a single large, well focussed shot. Please don't take that as a criticism, it's merely an observation that I wanted to address and is not meant to be rude.
From what I can see on the new pic's your badge appears good, so better safe than sorry!
Just for reference, this is what we're up against....Frighteningly good isn't it?
Regards, Ned.
