Hello Andreas I'd like to see better pictures than the ones you show before I give it the thumbs up.
At the moment it looks like an example that was sold by a militaria dealer in Berlin and is a fake produced by a well known forger as it has the same casting flaws on the reverse of the wreath as other known reproductions.
Cheers
Doug

Hello Andreas,
i have also my doubts when i look on this badge and i agree with Doug about his negative feeling.
In my opinion one of this high end copies. Riveting, set-up and the flaws on the reverse side are details they are speaking for a fake badge imo.
But just my personal opinion.
Regards
Joe
It's said that the lead content in these Staegemeir fake Osang Para badges is so high you can use them as a pencil......

i dont think that will be a problem ,the badge is not paid yet ...
thanks mate !
Hello Andreas
Ned has got him bang to rights it looks like a Staegemeir badge that was identified by Tom Durante.
Take a close look at the back and you will see a lot of Osang fakes with identical flaws.
They are good copies that have fooled collectors in the past
Good news about the non payment
Cheers
Doug
