Here is a photo of program cover from an event 12 day days before. When I first saw the pin I thought it was the same event. I am not sure if it makes the pin more likely real or not.

Haven't seen one before but I like what I see. I would buy it if I happened upon it. How big is this pinback? If the pin attachment is the same size as a Party badge, then this badge is just slightly bigger?

Thank you, that is interesting. I confirmed via a German website that there was indeed a 'Deutsche Kriegs-skimeisterschaft' event hosted by the Ruhpolding Ski Club in February of 1940, and I also found a postcard from the same event with the same design as the badge. Whether or not that was related to the event from your program, I have no idea.

Hi Mark. Thanks for your opinion! I think that has a good chance of being genuine as well. I don't know how the big the pinback is, but the badge is something like 35x25 mm, I believe. I can't say for certain because I don't have it in hand. I think I'll make an offer to the seller and take a gamble on it, unless someone else knows it to be a fake/fantasy.

Go for it, it's not fake. If someone proves it's fake, then I'd believe it. Does the pin plate state "Carl Poellath"? Can't quite enlarge enough to see it.

Ok, thanks! I will give it a shot. The pin looks good to me too, but I wanted the opinion of the seasoned veterans before going for it, since it's somewhat unusual and not something I could really research. I can't see it either, and all I have is what the seller stated. I believe he gave the inscription as "C. Poellath," actually.

Thanks for your faith (if it was meant for me) but seasoned is what happens to raw meat, lol. If someone proves it to be fake, I'll buy it from you and learn from it. It has every attribute I want in a period enamel badge. And I think the badge is rather attractive looking.

Sure, here's the link:

And here's the postcard front, uploaded directly to WRF for the benefit of the future residents of Deadlinkistan:
Thanks again for the thoughts and opinions about this! I have contacted the seller.
