Well, I can tell you the SS abzeichen is a fantasy piece. The second one is an Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse 1914 mit Wiederholungsspange, but I can't tell you if it's authentic. I don't have that knowledge yet.

Regards, Rik

I am pretty sure that the iron cross / spange combo is a fake as well.

Well, I can tell you the SS abzeichen is a fantasy piece.

...and a truly awful one at that.

On top of its absurdity and lousy quality, the idiot fakers didn't even get the German grammar right. (It should be "in der Geheimpolizei" not "im Geheimpolizei".)

Clearly from the folks who gave us this gem:

The Spange combo looks kinda like an example CMSgt posted as a Mayer spange with AWS Cross , check his post in Orders and Decorations of the TR . I'd like him to see this , any chance of a retitle on this tread ? Good luck

They are different Chris.
Look at the crown and the pin shape.
There would be more of a chance at having the thread retitled if she had posted them separately, as she should have. That is the reason for this thread.
Uploading photos and posting multiple items.

I think that the Ek combo is a one piece fake. Looking at the back side,
the cross and eagle have the exact same color tones and patina.

That would not happen when the pieces should be made of two different
materials. ( silver for the cross and alloy for the spange)

I believe the "9" in the date bar is odd as well.
