JensF. Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 (edited) Here are more badges from my collection. In my opinion all of them are original, but just to be sure and sleep well, I want to ask for your opinion. The red enamel looks a little bit dark in the scans. Edited March 19, 2006 by JensF.

Alfred Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Hello Jens,the Pilot badges and the Parachutist and para-instructor badges looks okay to me,due to the academy badges it is very difficult to say. There are two main collector oppinions.The first oppinion is, that only silver academy badges were given out and that all nonsilver badges are fakes.The other collector thinks that also non silver badges are okay. In the added picture is a comparision between a silver one and a none silver one.So, I don?t know. But these badges are heavily faked.In 1957 they dropped the name shields, but the military was not happy about it, so there were some customer made shields attached to badges in different ways Btw, there should be about 64 different variants.best regardsAndreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 1950s academy badges were made out of silver, with shields pronged on.I should be ASTONISHED if anybody can come up with a 1980s badge made out of silver, and am not holding my breath for anybody anywhere to produce a mythical 15 Republics SILVER badge. It is urban myth that so many Academy badges which are simply RECENT are somehow fake, inducing paranoia among collectors which is not justified in my opinion.

JensF. Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 Thanks guys. Rick, what do you think about the academy badges from me? The crest looks a little bit strange. One looks like copper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 The recent ones are crappy quality, that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I have only one of these. Belongs in a researched group to a Commissar. Nice early one in silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
