    SS GAUTAG MUNCHEN
    1933
    MUNCHEN
    DEUTSCHLAND
    ERWACHE

    if my research is correct, this was given out as a part of the 1933 SS meeting in munich.
    but my research is often flawed, so here it is.
    looks like it's made of copper, since there's a lot of green areas on the back.
    very solid piece. i can't bend it with my bare hands.

    i'd like to know more about the medal since i see a lot of cheap ones on ebay, but i think those are repros/surplus from post-war raids

    Aged fake imo, it has a coffin shaped pin plate which is always a no no for me. regards Paul

    I believe these are considered fantasy badges by the majority of collectors. There is a thread on at least one of the forums that I can remember & here is a thread I found doing a search on this forum: 1933 SS Gautag in Munich badge

    As a fantasy badge, there would be no genuine badge to compare it to. It's a design fabricated by whichever faker put it together, not something that ever existed between 1933-45.

    This is correct, a fantasy which turned up in the 80s and then was included in Ron Manion's German Military Collectibles Price Guide in the 1990s, which is just full of junk.
    Sadly many dealers still sell these and burn people as originals even tho it has been known for decades they are rubbish.
