I am by no means an expert, but I'm highly suspicious of anything SS marked, especially one this blatant.
-
Same here and there’s tons of ridiculous SS-marked items in Hungary, but this one ”felt” like it might be good, so I gambled on it.
-
Please also show us the back side.
I don't dare to judge so far, but I've got a good feeling.
-
Here is a picture of the back side. The ”pits” on the back don’t seem to have been raised by the stamping, which is something I would expect from something that has been stamped on a old badge post war.

In my opinion, unfortunatly, it is not a good one. The fonts are typical of the '90 fakes dog tags. Sorry fot that, but the SS erkennungsmarken is a really mine field...but also beautifull. I hope that you forget this first disappointment and you will continue in this kind of collection.
-
Oh no, obviously not what I had hoped for, but I’ll take the bitter truth above living in ignorance any day!
Hopefully the other item I brought home (a silver Panzerkampfabzeichen) will get a better verdict, that would at least more than make up for the financial loss.
Even though it was bitter news: Thank you so much for your oppinion, much appreciated!
-
I would sill keep it, but mark it on the back somehow so future collectors have a warning sign. If you keep the fake stuff you bought, and compare it to real examples, you will be able to discern easier in the future, real vs. fake. Plus it'll give you a laugh years down the road. Maybe.
-
Yeah, I’ll keep it: I have a small box for fake items that I’ve bought (all unknowingly), that I don’t display with my authentic collection (they don’t deserve it). Luckily, this will only be the 4th item I add to that box!
