Hello!
Any thoughts on this badge?
Sorry about the bad pictures, but they are the only ones the seller have provided so far.

I think I saw this one for sale on either our estand or WAFs, can't recall...it's a screamer but I'm hoping you get a great review from the experts, that wasn't cheap! It's really something, what's the tag say?

It was just put for sale now, so I dont think it`s the same. And it`s way too cheap. The listing ends tomorrow and I have no clue about authenticity on these.
I cannot read the tag, the seller has just these 2 pictures.

Try for clearer pictures if possible.
It is difficult to be sure, note the weave of the black lines. WWII period weave slanted from upper right down to lower left. Don't use the correct slant as your only indicator of originality. Some post war pieces have been observed with the correct slant.

It might be interesting to see what the seal has impressed into it and who the paper packets firm is.

Thanks guys, I suspect this not legit. I have asked for more pictures, but haven`t got anything yet. So I will pass on this one.
