Please read this thread.

Also, I have moved your thread to the correction of the forum.

Searching for anything relating to, Anton Boos, 934 Stamm. Kp. Pz. Erz. Abt. 7, 3 Kompanie, Panzer-Regiment 2, 16th Panzer-Division (My father)
I own a very similar badge that I had done quite a bit of research on. There is a fake out there but its tell is that the top of the grenade is flat instead of tapered. I would say your badge is ok. to bad about the missing hardware.

Hi Ralph
The 2nd picture with the flat grenade top is a known fake. Here is a picture of that GAB fake back.

The badge is supposed to be a Karneth hollow zinc. (1.9.2 in Frank Heukemes book)
I am quite sure that examples with a block hinge are considered to be dubious but I do like the reverse of the badge that started the thread.
Due to the condition good or bad I would pass on this one
Cheers
Doug
