They certainly appear to be good ones for enlisted helmets. Just enough of the appropriate age to the paint.
Usually they are made of steel.
-
The paint does appear to be well aged, I would lean toward original.
-
They look fine. No worries there.

Thats good to know as they came off an EM helmet!
I am sure they aren't magnetic though, and on a dealer site Great War Militaria - Great War Militaria a kokarde that is described as original is mentioned as being of stamped brass so I assumed that was the usual material of construction. I will try a stronger magnet on mine tonight and see if any attraction is found.

I would also say; yes!

They definately look good from here.

Nice! I'll try to setup a decent photo shoot of the entire helmet this weekend and start a thread on it.

I just tested 9-original loose ones I have in my spare parts box, that I salvaged off of old helmets I didn't keep. They were all magnetic.
One of the 3-Baden kokardes that I have is made of brass, and thus non-magnetic.
By all appearances yours look to be originals. One of the features I like about your set is that the center hole has a raised ridge around the die punched hole, which is a good sign.
I look forward to seeing your new helmet!
Best Regards,
Alan

Hello Alan.
So that there is not a Hijacking taking place.
I would love to see some pic's of the Baden kokardes. I have a M1895 Baden Landwehr Haube that is Kokardless.
