Hi:
No pictures with this posting. I recently picked up three original WWII German medals and all are missing there back pins. I got a High Seas badge marked "FO" for Friedrick Orth. A Coastal Artillery marked mark Hermann Aurich and a Schneellboate late war and not marked. All three are missing pins. Does anyone know were I might be able to purchase replacement pins either original or repro??? Maybe there is someone I can send these medals to that can repair them. I would like to fix them up. Please let me know. Either contact me at moorejt@tds.net or leave a message with this posting. Thanks much---Jim

That's a tough one Jim..original pins are in short supply, and you never really see them for sale.
I have a few pin assys. for clasp type awards if you need them..

You might try looking for damaged, corroded, more common, etc., badges, tinnies, etc., that have the correct pins, remove the pins and solder them to your badges.
