Sorry mate, maybe I am a little dull but I just don't understand the question here!by Waffen1969
What pins and catches on which item are you asking about?

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing he cares more about than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature with no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
It was already explained on this thread:
https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/ss-un...pin-ss-641428/
It refers to the plate that affixes the pin assembly to the badge. If it is "coffin-shaped" (as the one on the badge whose picture you had removed, rendering said thread useless) the respective badge is a post-war forgery, as this type of plate was never used during the Third Reich era.
However, It is not possible to make a universal statement on which type of pin assembly/catch is correct, as there were countless variants.
Which one is correct depends on the given badge, manufacturer, period etc.
Thank you AndreasI didn't make the connection as it appeared to be a "stand alone" thread
Knowing of the connected thread the question makes sense and as usual you have answered it well

I was out of line what more can I say example of wrong things I done since thinking I was in good graces 1 pictures sideways 2 to many items in photo3 poor lighting 4 too vague I was not familiar with features but I figured those out I am not in no way Bill Gates I backed off posting in all fairness I was wrong again I am just a young kid who likes this hobbie and what to do the right things I am not trying to make excuses but a little understand would be most grateful for I am not going to quit on collecting so if desired keep the hits coming Kevin
Watchdog. Sorry sir I never implied you are dull where you get that from as a matter of fact I respect you knowledge the fact is my post was not complex enough so I take I am the dumb one.Thought my bad start moved on smart enough to know I am sadly mistaken. Best of luck on your collection Kevin
For proper setup on Party badges, look here. Go through this thread below:
The official, "unofficial", Party badge thread.
You must look on many examples. I think that I've done a pretty good job just by looking,then looking again and again....and again...
Buy a cheap original and sit home with a cup of coffee and compare to fakes here on the forum.
I have of course asked a lot of questions here
As HPL said, there is no universal statement here.
Always stay away from that SS pin
First a coffin shaped fake. Below: my M1/92 Party badge.
Thank you for your advise and understanding best of luck in you indevers Kevin
Now I know what you mean by coffin shape the way it is mounted to the badge itself I though people meant by the catch where the pin tip ends after all to a novice pin point catching might be misconstrued as a coffin shape to someone learning. Thank you because you saved me money as a matter of fact I was going to local shop today and would have got another fake. thumbs up to you for you patience and understanding
