Tinnies Any ideas?

Someone from another (non-collectors) site I frequent bought his first piece of militaria and asked if anyone knew anything about it, so I thought I'd ask the experts! I tried to post the photo here but it's 112.5 kb, 2.5kb too large for here! Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

I'm hoping I don't have to tell him his first piece is a fake!

Not a good start in the collecting field. Fantasy item.

Thanks Pete! I shall be the bearer of bad news.....

Indeed it is. The biggest clue is that Adolf is spelt wrong on the token. Hitler used "f" not "ph".

As a side note, all the badges in the picture further down the page on that link you posted are fakes as well.....

Thanks Don, I thought the NSKK badge may have been ok, now I know better! I still have much to learn and am thankful for all the help on this site. My knowledge grows slowly along with my collection.

We'd need to see the reverse to be sure but looking at the others I doubt that it's a good one.

Hi Don, what do you think of the Olympic enamels?
