I bought 9 different enamel badges at an auction last Saturday. I'd like opinions on if there are real or fakes. Pictures of 9 badges, both front and back.
#1 HJ Marksmanship Badge - Front
#1 HJ Marksmanship Badge - Reverse
#2 Deutschland Erwache 1933 - Front
#2 Deutsche Erwache 1933 - Reverse
#4 Adolf Hitler 1933 - Front
#4 Adolf Hitler 1933 - Reverse
#7 Hunting Association - Front
#7 Hunting Association - Reverse
(1)HJ Marksmanship = Bad
(2)Deutsche Erwache 1933 = Bad
(3)N.S.K.K. = I don't know these, but don't like the pin setup.
(4)Adolf Hitler 1933 = Bad
(5)RAD = Bad
(6)SS = Bad - Very
(7)Hunting Association = I don't know these.
(8)HJ 1939 = Bad, I think.
(9)HJ 1944 = Bad, I think.
Sorry these are well know copies.
That's what I thought. Glad I didn't pay too much for them. Thanks!
Jamie is correct I'm afraid, the pin plate is the give away. This short oval with cropped ends type are only found on post period badges.
Cheers
Don

A detailed description for each pin wasn't requested.
