    1. Can you get a larger scan Robert? It looks like 146 on my screen. Nice piece either way. D
    2. A nice comparison Robert.. Have you noticed the similarity between the letter S in Reichsbund on the Seiboth piece & the anniversary pieces? Happy New Year to you & all the other members of GMIC. Don
    3. Hi, Welcome to the forum. I'm afraid to say that this badge is a fake. Apart from the black ring around the front edge, more obvious signs which show it is bad are the small oval coffin shaped plate attaching the pin to the badge which were never used during the Third Reich period & the RZM symbol which is in the circle on the reverse. The Opferring were not under the juristiction of the RZM so the symbol would never be on one of their badges... Sorry Don
    4. Ahh! So you got it. I wondered who had nabbed it, good score & I'm pleased to see that it went to a good home. D
    5. Yes he is referring to the marked versions of these.... He says that he believes that the ones with maker marks may be the fakes rather than the unmarked ones...
    6. Personally I like them. It's the unmarked ones that I've often wondered about.
    7. Good to hear from you after all this time Ralf, I hope that you are well? Don
    8. Hi Adlerhorst! You may be correct, for several years I have had a feeling that the unmarked ones could be fake. The pin on my one is the same strength as on my marked one & the quality is as good, but I have never been happy with it. I fully believe that the Frauenschaft badges made by Osange are fake because the quality of the lettering is too good under magnification. Probably machine cut rather than hand cut. Thanks Don
    9. These small ones are sweet aren't they. A lovely find,thank you for posting it. Don
    10. I had time to dig through my images at the weekend. I have the silver version.... I've also put it with the "bund" version to compare. Don
    11. Thank you for your replies Adlerhorst. If you have the time it would be nice to see some of your collection... Yes I have a couple of the Sängergau pins but at this time I cannot remember if they are honour version or not, when I get time I shall have a look. Best regards Don
    12. The shape of the plate holding the pin indicates that this is of post war manufacture.
    13. The ski badge is beautiful as well . Are the other two badges doubles from your collection or are they the same badges that have been cleaned? Don
    14. Thank you. The badge is one piece, unlike the fake/fantasy version that has a separate green enamel wreath. Don
    15. Welcome to the forum. Very nice!!! It is not often that you see tinnies from the Tirol. Thank you for showing them
    16. Sorry for my delay in responding to this thread, I knew that I had an Urkunde for Peter's pin but couldn't find it!!! Success at last. It has an embossed symbol at the top which I have enlarged in case it isn't as clear on the full image. Cheers Don
    17. Never seen anything like it. I like it though... Thanks for sharing.
