RE: Need Help on Spotting Fake U-boat Badge

<HTML>Well done para!
Remember to pull the cord, and bend the knees!

The actual sharp edges and moulding lines should be nice and sharp, with no fuzzyness.The real thing looks very sharp and defined compared to a lot of recast fakes. Try to get hold of one that you know to be genuine( anysort will do) and compare them. You will see straight away the difference.
I also have seen badges that were recast from the genuine moulds after the war. These are all but impossible to tell from the real ones, because to all intent and purposes they are the real thing!</HTML>
