Gestapo ID tags

[Avitas]

Hi gentlemen,

I have had these two Geheime Staatspolizei ID tags since I started collecting a couple years ago, and have always thought they were probably copies. Can anyone help me determine the authenticity of these? Any originals for posting to compare?

Thanks alot,

Pat

and the back of the first one, with serial number 7227, maker M9/86.

and the second of these questionable Gestapo dogtags, number 6005. Any opinions on these tags?

Thanks,

Pat

and the back with serial number 6005, not good I think, but I hope I'm wrong.

Hi,

sorry to say,but both of them are fake.

[Avitas]

I thought so, nice keychains now I guess I didn't pay much so I kind of assumed they were bad, but hey, you never know. I can see now what is meant by "pitting" in cast copies, as these are an excellent example of the characteristic.

Perhaps someone can show us what a good example looks like. Rosenberg, do you have one?

[Rosenberg]

I am afraid not! I haven?t had the opportunity to get one cheap or from a seller I trust.Some early and low numbered discs catch up to 12k and that?s something you don?t want to end up screwed with.

The type pictured here is the most simple one to recognise as fake for these discs never have any RZM marking.

Possibly this will help

[Rosenberg]

Ah hopefully one day I will own one

Nice disc......

[Bob Hunter]

Excellent! One picture is worth... Note how the devil is always in the details.

i shouldn't be surprised, chris, that you'd

have a fine example of this.

makes the details stand out quite nicely!

thanks.

Hi saw previous posts and I have this ID tag which were handed down from my grandfather. Not sure if original or not  (more bronze colour then the photo shows) but it seems more like an original compared to the fakes I have seen the only thing is the hole is in the opposite end to most. Any Thoughts
