I believe that both of these are original.

Both of these badges are faked pretty well. Much better photos surely would help to easily firm things up. Based on your photos, the Home in the Reich badge looks more convincing than the other.

Hi Mark. What don't you like about the Gau Westmark badge? It looks like a very nice original to me, and in fact, I don't remember seeing a fake of these Fritz Mannheim badges at all.

Hi Erno, not a matter of "not liking", just can't give 100% of what knowledge I do have to pics like these. If I'm vetting a piece, I want better pics. The piece looks like it's ok, but just cannot pull the trigger all the way

And yes, these badges are faked, perhaps not with the tinnie marking but that wouldn't be difficult to add. Simply google some pics of this badge, there are many fakes.

Incidentally, how are ya? It's been a while.
