I feel the stickpin example is a period orig. piece.
The pin back with the ~ to the pin and retaining plate, also the soft appearance of the wings on the helm. and the rim of the helm.
together with the appearance of the swas. set off alarm vibrations. I have been wrong on other items, but I do not feel comfortable about the pin back example.
Anyone noted the KdfK badge depicted in any period publications?
Assmann catalog?
