Fake "Excellent" Badges. - Page 9

They ought to make "Excellent Tourist" badges, and award them to us stupid Americans as soon as we get off the planes. In some countries I feel like I'm wearing one already... :)

Those badges are always up for sale on eBay, called re-strikes. But fakes they are also.

Cleber,

Even from this scan you can tell by the color of the badges that they are all fakes. Even screwplates are not original. Starting price is about what you'd expect to pay for a genuine WWII submariner badge.

hi Alexei, what did you mean about the colour? how should be the red enamel?

Sebastien,

Sorry, I was talking about the brass.

OK, I see better: brand new enamel without wear traces and artificial patina on bronze?

An excellent pontooneer's badge. Looks alright but would like a second opinion please. As always, thanks.

Danny,

It's a fake. Please read through this thread, and you will see a lot of them.

Post WW2 badge according to the seller. If it is it doesn't carry the same value as a WW2 badge. Opinions? Thanks

** EDIT ** I've added a further scan of the profile of the badge.
