Hello @all,

Can anybody tell me if this badge is a copy?

Yes,it’s a copy, as schoenwurf said. There are worse fakes but this one appears to have raised letters even. Haven’t seen that before.

Hello Schoenwurf, hello Greenhorn,

Thank you very much for your reply and your expert opinion.

I was wondering because the needle of the badge and also the complete backside doesn´t match with any known original.

Best regards

Christian

It is not original indeed - I am quite sure it is a Rudolf Souval post war replica GPB from his late period, upgraded by some polishing, artifical signs of age and wear and tear. The Souval replica is far better quality than the usual fakes, but Souval was never an official maker of the golden PB - good for us he was not able (or willing) to copy it well.
