I know you weren't having a crack mate, I genuinely reckon your eyes are better than mine, mine aren't as good as they once were so it's a bit more difficult to see some details that I once could pick up easily, especially close up.

Great looking badges too mate!

[HJ-Collector]

ideal mate, just wanted to be clear, my eyes are headed there also!!

cheers for clearing that up mate!

In the before and after shots is the reverse two different badges? Not only is the pin complete in one shot but the pin plate is turned at a different angle. The "75" looks raised in one shot and stamped in the other. Not having a crack just passing an observation.

It is the same reverse, when I resoldered the pin plate I moved it so it would be better aligned.

Just love the "Heil Hitler" badge. Been looking for one myself.

No worries mate.

I'm really wanting to find a really good condition badge pin, but I'm learning these are often faked, and the untrained eye can easily be fooled. My gut tells me I'm going to learn Snyder's Treasures isn't the site to buy from, but I'm pondering $129 for this pin:





What I like about this is that it's clean and unchipped etc.

Is this real or fake?

Here's another I found, but this one is more suspect to me...



Thanks folks!

[sandgroper]

Both are good badges but $129 is pretty steep! You are right about Snyders too, keep clear of him. If you are interested in learning about these badges you will not find a better place to learn than the Party Badge book by Jo Rivett from Switzerland, he is the guru. Have a look at Parteiabzeichen This is Jo's site. Good luck mate!

Totally agree with sandgroper here, $129 is far too steep for that average condition Deschler badge -- plus you've got Snyder to throw into the equation... So, although I'm definitely more partial to the Deschler design-wise, reverse markings, attachment and all, I'd definitely go for the m1/101 (Brehmer) if I absolutely had to choose.

That said, Jo's site is surely a site where you can't go wrong! His vast knowledge on the subject and wide selection of party enamels is second to none... He's definitely the man to go to when it comes to party badges

Already told the OP this info have no idea why it is posted twice on the forum?.
Real or fake NSDAP Badge pins?

As mentioned go for the minter but try to knock the snydester down in price
