Good original piece to me.
You got a good deal
I believe this is a S&L and considered picking it up myself since I do not have one yet
Good one Joe!
Congrats,

It's saltiness was a deciding factor for me. It'll match the condition of all my other awards/ medals, etc.
I wish I owned it! I believe that this is not only an S&L Panzerkampf Abzeichen in Silber, it is the most desirable, and heaviest zinc badge they made, hence why it's called the 'Monster'!!
The set up is 100% right for it, what you need to do Joe is weigh it...accurately! If it's 40g+ it's real, the fakes are lighter.
If it is 40+, that's a damn fine catch my friend! Check out the one below, considered to be one of the best out there at the moment, due mainly to it's finish. BTW, silver ones of the 'Monster' type are rare.
Regards, Ned.

Oh boy... you've made me nervous, Ned! Now I have to add weighing badges to my defense against fakes!
