Original or fake? Help me please.
Hi there, could you post better pics of the catch & hinge please. Stewy
I think it's unknown maker #14 but difficult to tell from the pics. Stewy
It's a very nice original zinc badge by a so far unknown maker, although on a couple of separate occasions it has been found in maker marked envelope stating "Metall- und Kunstharzwerk GmbH Komotau / Sudetengau" which is interesting, and hopefully may lead to a positive I.D. someday.
The design is unique and massive compared to other examples, weighing in at a hefty 35-36g. The whole badge exudes a quality above many others in it's strong appearance and artistic appeal. It's considered to be a rare badge, and this point, plus the others mentioned all adds up to a very desirable piece. Good luck in securing it if you can.
BTW, Welcome to the forum.
Regards, Ned.

Note the recessed catch, just what you want to see on this type and almost the same as found on Berg & Nolte GAB'S.
Here's my B&N as an example.

It was a nice surprise Ned & a right result. I've only seen a handful of these & rarely for sale. StewyI forgot about that one yer jammy git.
Thanks for the help, it is still not mine, I want to buy it and so I asked if it was original or replica, sell me for 70 £ will it be good business?
