Hello all,
I wonder whether I can get some opinions on this 1944 Gausieger badge. Original or bogus? I have attached a few pictures. Thanks for any help.
thanks again,
Duzig(Bill)

I'm sorry to have to contradict Rod, but this is a fake I'm afraid.

There are many clues but the quickest way to spot this version of the fake is the gold coloured catch hook. It should be of a white metal, giving it a grey/silver look.

Sorry
Don
