re: Is this Gold Verwundetenabzeichen a repro?
I guess we should thank the bastard for using the distinctive "coke bottle" pin, or we wouldn't have a clue! I didn't mention your name because I hoped someone else would wade in here and voice their opposition to this pin, too. But you more or less covered the issue. I will call the guy I bought it from and try to get a refund. Thanks for your time.

Hi Bob, I hope you get your money back.
This Floch guy has caused so many collectors to loose money. I got took on 3 campaign shields made by him back in the early 1980's. They are £20 each back then. The quality of his fakes are all very very good. It is only in recent years that collectors are becoming aware of all his fakes due to forums like this.
Cheers, Ade.

Glad I just ran across this thread. It is indeed a "Floch" fake. I have learned from experience when purchasing higher end items such as a gold WB it is very important to do some research prior to making the deal. Make sure you get your money back. Good luck.

The guy I bought it from took it back - and didn't even act surprised when I told him it was a fake. I wonder what that means?

re: Is this Gold Verwundetenabzeichen a repro?
I am really glad to hear that. Maybe the person who sold it to you didn't know better. Not every person who sells fakes does it on purpose. Sometimes honest mistakes are made, especially when it comes to "floch" fakes. Do some research on these fakes for future reference. Just to give you somthing to look for in the future...look at the pin. It is known as a type "B"Floch pin. This is a dead giveaway. When you look up info on these you will find out more about this setup and how to spot them. Good luck in the future and remember to do plenty of research.
