SA-Sportabzeichen - Authentic or Reproductions?

**Markratz1** · 03-14-2013, 03:31 PM

Picked these up recently from a trusted Forum, I had given up on German awards ten years ago and have lost my nerve on buying, but it was a simple trade and I have very little in these. Of course photos are rough to determine authenticity, any opinions?

Both are Werner Redo, no RMZ logo or numbers. The bronze has evidence of a gold wash on a few small areas. Not sure if the silver looks right anymore. Thanks all, Mark

I see no problems with either badge.

Thanks, I really stepped away from German related due to the fakes, fraud and reproductions, and inmersed myself into Soviet WW2. These 2 SA Badges are the first German awards I have aquired since 1998. Basically got both for about $80.00 US Dollars. They had a look that I took a chance on, shear marks on the edges from being die struck, the patina, finish, clasp. Makes me feel better about this business. Appreciate having you all out there as reliable resources!!
