Question Bandenkampfabzeichen in Bronze - Real or fake
Hi guys,
I’m looking for opinions on this Bandenkampfabzeichen in Bronze.
To be fair to the dealer, he doubts its authenticity having acquired it as a job lot.
However, two other dealers have told him that they believe it to be real. The price is what you would expect for a replica - £40.
Now even I know that the Souval claw was never used during the TR period. My question therefore is: Could it be that the badge is genuine and that it has had some post-war clasps and hinges soldered on to it, or is it just a pure fake?
Please excuse the poor photos as they wern’t taken under the best conditions
