Not sure what to make of this one.....
Frank & Reif.
Definitely not the bad fake encountered above by Dave H. Here are my observations.
The badge matches in size (w+h) to the other makes but is very heavy & thicker compared to the others.
I have a feeling that the eagle is possibly cast, there is a distict line on the edge in some places, between the neck & wing elbow/joint for instance.
Compared to the poor pictures I posted of a supposedly good one of this maker, the font used on the maker mark looks slightly different.
If this maker is a genuine one for these badges, then it would be the ideal candidate to fake because of the type of pin attachment utilised. Question is, is this an original, or is this a good fake on which Dave H's poor fake was based?
Either way, look closely at the spelling of Deutscher & you can see why the mistake was made on the one shown by Dave H.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Don
