Hello Panzer , is this a nickle silver / tombak badge ? I have not been able to match it up to any originals , have you ? To me the rivets , catch , are not quite right . Weight seems a little heavy as the tombak badges seem to run in the mid to high 30's . Just my opinion . What are the measurements ? In Previtera's book he shows a tombak piece with wreath width 42.83mm - wing span 41.48mm and total height 53.11mm - 38.8 grams in weight .Wait for others to comment .

Hi raz!
Thanks for your interest in my topic. The material of the sign is 100% not a zinc. It looks like a Neusilber.
I measured the dimensions.
wreath: 53,2 x 42,8 mm
wing width:ca. 40,5 mm

Thanks
Panzer

Wehrmacht Awards is also of the opinion that it is a good fake. The hallmark, the needle system and the rivets do not match the Assmann. ������
