David..I dont thing that one is any good. There isnt enough detail in the badge. It almost looks like its cast off another one but the detail didnt transfer.

Hi Dave,

I'm not sure if your badge is original or not, may be details are not very good as Rick said, but there are some original unmarked Flak badges with similar pin.

I know of no such where the swas. is attached to the 88 barrel as in this example. I have seen examples where the excess material was not trimmed away between the two. That does not appear to be the case in this instance.

Could you get a sharper image.

Site for comparisons. Check out the first two in Variants.

I have also noticed that the swasti comes all the way down and connects with the barrel, Other confirmed originals I have seen there is a gap between.........Were there any originals like this....Thanks Dave

Paul,

You might be surprised. A couple of feathers and a treble hook from that lower hole might and it might do very well. laugh
