Verwundetenabzeichen 1939 in Gold - Possible Fake?

[Rock Rey]

Hey all,

This badge is available for sale locally, and I took some detailed pictures of the piece first:



At first glance, it seems fine (other than it being very clean and shiny), so I did some more digging into the "L/63" makers mark and ran across this on this forum from 2014:

Verwundetenabzeichen 1939 in Gold, Marked L/63

I assume the badge I took photos of is just another one of the fakes that the 2014 poster showed?

I assume stay away (particularly since Big Ned passed sentence on it ), but I figured I'd post it here, and bring further awareness for new members of these (I assume) fakes out there.

Thanks as always!

Looks to be missing the rivet at the back of the helmet. If it isn't there then I wouldn't buy it.
EDIT- you're right, looks like the one in the referenced thread.

The rivet is there on these badges. It is just not that pronounced. A stinker in any case.
