Flak-Kampfabzeichen der Luftwaffe, marked with 43 (Julius Bauer Söhne, Zella Mehlis)

Hello Guys,

I could buy this item at a very low price.

Can you please tell me if it is an original?

Best regards

Not a good one, badges like these were never PKZ marked.

Hello Tobias,

Thank You very much for Your helping post. I was wondering about the unreal price of a comercial dealer (just 62 EUR). Moreover the needle and catch system looks like too simple for an original badge.

Best regards

I agree with Tobias, this is not an original badge. I don't think Bauer made this badge so that's an immediate red flag.
For that price the dealer knows it's a fake.
Sometimes it works in the collector's favour, I just bought a badge that was marked as a fake but is in fact an original so got a very good price.
