Nazi Party Badges REAL or Fake

**USMC0311** · 08-15-2016, 12:21 AM

I am starting to seriously focus on collecting Nazi Party badges. I have a few already, and I was hoping to get your expert opinions on what to look for in real badges and fakes. Here are the handful I have now, are they real or not? Thank you for your time. !

Well, it's not looking good. The pins with the "coffin shaped" pin attachment plates are Definitely bad, and as for the other, I would suggest checking out a few of the excellent threads we have here that are dedicated solely to the party badges.

I'm going to stick my neck out here and say all bad! Check out a site like Lakeside Trader for examples of real ones. Pin incorrect for badge (#1,2,4) and sloppily fitted.

THIS is where you should be looking:

Study the "Sticky" threads at the top - and do not expect to learn it all in a day...as is the modern way of thinking...rather allow time to ease your passage into a world of knowledge and hopefully, enjoyable collecting.

As noted on the other thread you posted these; all fake --- look through the party badge sticky threads here, learn the basics and go from there. In most cases you cannot avoid distinguishing real from fake once you've got the look of the real deal down. Getting the Party Badge book would help immensely also.
