THANKS TO MIKE TUCKER FOR USE OF SOME PICS ON THIS PAGE

THE TOP BADGE HERE IS A CLASSIC SOUVAL FAKE.  THE CIRCULAR PULLED-UP CATCH IS A DEAD GIVE AWAY.  THE BOTTOM BADGE IS AN EXCELLENT COPY OF A W.H. BADGE  WITH AN INCORRECT LOCATION "WIEN" BEING THE GIVE AWAY.

CASTING IS STILL THE BANE OF COLLECTORS.  ON TOP IS A CAST JUNCKER WITH INCORRECT MARK, AT BOTTOM A VERY GOOD CASTING OF AN "A" MARKED BADGE.  VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE FLAWS WITHOUT A LOUPE.

TO THE LEFT IS A POORLY CAST AURICH PIECE...NOBODY SHOULD BE FOOLED BY THIS.

THANKS TO CHRIS TAYLOR FOR THIS PIC.

THIS BADGE IS SEEN WITH DIFFERENT MAKER MARKS.....OVERALL APPEARANCE LOOKS GOOD....TAKE A LOOK AT THE HEAD OF THE EAGLE, THIS IS THE TELL ON THIS FAKE.  THIS PIECE IS MARKED L/10....OTHER L MARKS HAVE BEEN SEEN
