Gausieger 1944 - recent purchase

Hello everyone,

So what do we think of this one?

Creamy paint not white, detail in the eagle's claws. Berries at 12 o clock well defined.
Rear 'font looks okay, especially the flat base on the G. The weird letter K looks ok..

i haven't received it so I cant give sizes or weights..

I believe this one is okay, a little rough, but okay.
Here are a couple of threads for you to read regarding these.

Thanks Ralph,

Always amazes me the Germans spent time on making badges and especially these types, as late as 1944.

This one is a bit rough as you state but I kind of like that based on it being late in the war when things were sort of finished for Nazi Germany - I paid a lower price so that compensates. I believe they were only made in 1938, 1939 and 1944 so any other year would signal a fake - although I have only seen fakes for the genuine years.

Thanks for the links.
