A mix of fakes and fantasy pieces.
(I presume the latter are the ones you have never seen before.)
thanks for the response yep the guy propably havent heard about a thing called repros before and presumed all things with a swastika was from the era but there is so many alarm bells in these pics that i just had to post them so that people can see that fantasy piece makers even mix different branches like the sub through a cog wheel i mean, why even make something like that.
cheers
The sub through the cog wheel is not a fantasy. It is typically encountered as a stick pin for Submarine Dock workers. This particular piece in your photo however appears to be a reproduction.
I can't seem to find this Kriegsmarine stick pin elsewhere - is it especially rare?
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

Bottom line being, whether outright fantasy or poor copy fakes, there is nothing in this group worth the metal they are made of. They are all bad.
