Thanks Ron, but it makes my sprit drop. As with military badge collecting, so many fakes,repos now I've quit collecting. Now that there is no longer a East Germany, some of the old WW2 German badge original tooling was found there and now some of these "new"badges are so exact that long time collectors are fooled. With the same tooling/dies, no wonder. I am told it is the metal content that gives the new one away.
