Thank you for posting some of these great looking fakes.
Steve, your badge is among the best looking fakes out there. The giveaway are the perfectly rounded letters.....something impossible in the period and only a machine could make such a mold.
Davo, you're too humble
Jo, post number 9 is a good fake. I'd like to fine one to see in-hand. Also the F.R. badge, I remember seeing it before and was impressed by this one as a quality fake.
A party today, so gotta run
In this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig. CE
I e-mailed the Collector's Guild about this pin (and the 'Deutschland Erwache 1933' pins in general) about a week ago, but they're still offering it for sale at $125.

That`s strange.. they pulled one last week ► The Collector's Guild ◄ and left another up for sale? LOL.... well i guess they too have bills to pay.
Awesome thread! thx for the info!
Actually, I think that may be the one that I e-mailed them about. They have apparently removed it, so I apologize to the Collector's Guild for that mistake. However, I also mentioned in the same e-mail that all 'Deutschland Erwache 1933' badges are fakes, and that they wouldn't bear the RZM mark anyway. Why they only removed one, I have no idea, but to repeat, the one that I initially alerted them to (linked in the above quoted post) has indeed been removed.
I will e-mail them about the second fake badge.
Ok, I've alerted them, so the badge will hopefully be removed soon.
Although I might have been fooled by a few of the posted badges, I have only made it through a quarter of Jo's book and I am not fully versed in the parteiabzeichen overall, the large pin attachment device in post #4 and the attachment device used in post # 7 would have given me reasons to avoid. Would I have been correct for this reason alone or have these styles of attachment devices ever have been used on period parteiabzeichen?
