over priced crap.

Hi guys,

I'm about to purchase an Adolf Hitler Abzeichen. Here are the two in which I'm interested. The first one is 149$, the second 199$. What do you guys think?

Thanks

As HPL2008 said, fakes. Authentic AH badges are rare and costly in comparison to what you have shown. Authentic AH badges are nicely made and will not have 1933 on them, ever. The badges you have shown have poor enamel. Authentic German badges have excellent enamel, in fact, arguably the finest enamel in the world. They are out there though, good luck and keep posting as you find them.

Another thing to watch out for are the 'coffin-shaped' pin plates. These only appear on fake badges.

Here is a chart which hopefully helps to illustrate the meaning of the condemned 'coffin-shaped' pin plates:

Thanks for that! Very useful!

And, in addition to the good points mentioned above, no RZM markings should be present on these unofficial slogan badges.

Also, the combination of simply RZM and Ges Gesch should always come under high scrutiny. This although, to my knowledge, at least one party badge has been found with these markings it should always be viewed as a very rare exception to the general rule that markings like these are for the most part indicative of a fake badge.

Snyder has some legit items, a lot ....

So I've heard some other times, but I've never seen one.
someone has a physical proof of that statement?

well he does have some authentic items, which are usually over priced and are placed to just make inventory and sell everything else (junk)

my advice to ANYONE is to avoid at all costs. He knows what he's doing; you don't need to give business to that crook.

Really? Damn. Does anyone know the seller Snyder's Treasures? That's where I've found these two and they have a LOT of stuff on there.

!!!! OH MY GOD !!!!!
!!!!RUN!!!! Unless you like getting your a$$ ripped.

Just wanted to add that I've found a similarly fake "Adolf Hitler Abzeichen" on thirdreichdepot.com. The enamel doesn't look like enamel, it has a RZM mark and a coffin-shaped pin plate, and lastly, it was sold for 175$.

Yes, another very bad one!
