<HTML>Hi Fin,
thank you for the photos.
On my opinion it is a fake.
On originals the slit between the arms of the swastika is larger.
Then the top of the AA gun is not flat but has a bump thereon.
As Rainer said it already the top of the swastika is not centred in the
claws of the eagle.
Such copies are regularly sold in German auctions at 9500,00 DEM.
It would be interesting to ask to the seller a clear view of the
certificates.
Best regards
