Dear all,

What is your opinion about this cockade? According to the description it concerns an bavarian state cockade, but I am not quite sure about this.

This looks like Braunschweig. There are two different shades of blue that are quite different. There is a light blue like the one shown and a dark blue. Really quite different. There has been significant discussion about which one is preferred or better or correct. References seem to show them in both colors or should I say shades of blue.
 
BEWARE!!! I am 99% sure that the "yellow" on the kokarde is really just photographing yellow but is really white or off white. I picked up one of these on ebay a while back that looks identical to the one in your link.

I may be wrong here but isn't Blue-White-Blue a Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt kokarde?

I dont believe it to be authentic either. The back side looks very "clean" i think there would be some paint on the back side. Skip this one.

Here is a picture of the one I got
