It's a fake known as the "Non Touching Swaz" ( whoever thinks of these names is a true artiste) based on the S&L design but with a gap twixt swastika and turret that is not seen on any of their panzer badge designs and appeared around 10 years ago in various guises such as solid, semi hollow and as seen here hollow. The hardware set ups also vary wildly. Obviously the price of 70 Euro's is a red flag, and you did well to hold back and put it up here for discussion.

The forum has doubtless saved you a fair amount of money on steering you clear of numerous items that you have posted in the past for verification and have been proven bogus. Perhaps you might consider paying to be a gold member as a way of thanks for the help you have received since you joined last year? It would certainly be a nice gesture and is appreciated by all here who do subscribe.

Regards, Ned.

I think this post from that pinned thread is kind of self explanatory.

Ok.

This isn't hard.

You have a German award or decoration you want to post on the forum.

You don't know the correct name in German for it.

You don't know how to spell it.

So..........

You come to this thread, you find the name of the award you want to post.

You left click your mouse on the German name for your piece and keeping your finger down, you drag the mouse along the length of the word or phrase until it is highlighted.

You then right click the mouse and get a variety of options pop up.

Select 'Copy'.

Start your thread and in the box for the thread title you right click your mouse again.

Another box will appear with options and you select 'Paste'.

Hey Presto!

The German name of the award you wish to post has appeared!

It's not difficult so please do it!

Sarcastic?

Yes.

I meant, that some new collectors just know the look and not the right name of the decoration in the list. So you have to google all decorations to find the right look, which fits to the right terminological name. Pics would help to find the right name faster...

At least if they try and are wrong, I don't mind correcting them.
It is the ones who do not even try that bother me.

Nope, me neither.

It reminds me of the inventory of a company with a name that sounds like "UKMilitaria" but I could be mistaken
