    Default Fallschirmschutzenabzeichen by Friedrich Keller - Real or Fake

    Hi everyone,

    I have a Fallschirmschutzenabzeichen that I would like to hear your opinions on.
    Some of the details seem a bit soft to me and the pin also is quite thick.
    I am no expert so thank you for any input.

    This is a post war pin.
    That would make me suspect the entire badge.
    As far as I know, this is not a known maker of this award.

    I would agree with Ralph
    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

    Me too I'm afraid.

    As Ralph says the pin is quite wrong for a wartime badge and the maker name is spurious. Friedrich Keller was a TR maker but not of these badges (I think one of their products was belt buckles if I recall correctly).

    I don't like the rest of the badge either. It looks like a casting to me and the eagle looks a bit like a Gebruder Schneider bird with that distinctive outline around the eye but the detail looks soft and poorly defined plus the reverse has some pretty big pits in it.

    I am sure I have seen this maker mark on a fake FJ badge before but I can't recall where. Either way I don't believe it is original.

    Regards

    Mark
