2dresq Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Greetings, I have noted that several of the Auxiliary cruiser badges are un-marked it seems. I have seen most of them with a single rivit for the globe and such. I notice that most have a wide pin mount. I have recently seen the single thin pin design on some of these badges and it has raised my suspision on the authenticity of these badges. Can anyone lend a hand in possibly identifying any possible maker pin choices?Thanks, 2dresq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin W Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 The images you have provided make it hard to make a positive decision.I have not yet encountered this type of reverse set-up on a Hilfskreuzer badge.Larger images would help.There are many accepted original HSK badges that featured a needle pin.Schwerin,Juncker,Mayer and Foerster & Barth badges had "wide" pins.Badges produced by Frederich Orth and Rudolf Souval had needle pins.There are a number of unmarked originals that also featured needle pins.Schwerin,Juncker and some badges by Foerster and Barth,had a seperately attached,riveted globe.Foerster & Barth also produced badges of "single piece" construction,as did Orth and Souval.Regards,Martin.
