Evening guys I reckon this is the real deal but some more opinions would be great please! I believe the maker mark '30' is for Hauptmunzamt-Vienna?
Thanks for looking!

It looks good to my untrained eye Jay, a zincer. Hopefully Nick or Ade can comment as they own examples from this maker.

Hi Jay, I have some concerns over the finish. I think I would pass on it.

Cheers, Ade.

Cheers, Ade.

What am I missing Ade? Is it the uneven wear?

Hi Adrian, looking at the underlying metal of the badge it does not appear to be zink. No evidence of any bubbling to the zink under the finish, not always present of course, but nice to see. The colour of the finsh just looks really bright.

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks Ade,
It certainly is bright, I was putting this down to the flash. I think this might be a hands on inspection badge to be absolutely sure.
Can anyone else post an original zinc badge?
Jay, can you post any pics in natural light?

A tough one to call ! It does look like the flash. Here is my Deumer to compare

Thanks for replying guys.
I don't own the badge it's on a dealers site so I can't take better photo's but there are two more here if this helps??
Jay.
