Attic Re Discovery Politische Abzeichen

[Saladin]

I had to go rummaging around in the attic and decided to look at what pictures had been put up there over the years.
What a real surprise to find this frame full of badges that have been languishing in the dark since 1992!!

Unscrewing the back was easy removing the brass screws.

This little collection was accumulated from the late 60s to late 80s so with my current knowledge I am guessing there will be a mixture of good and bad.

I will try to get some close ups in daylight for the political fans

All the best

From a distance the W-SS arm eagle looks promising, but need a close up to be sure

[Totenhead]

Upon reflection, possibly not, gaps in wing feathers look too large

[Saladin]

Hello Totenhead..looks as though your guess about the eagle was correct. Still it is a reproduction I have not seen before:
Anyway more badges to follow
All the best Doug

Good spot M,
it looks like the matching brother. Checked my log it was swapped for a restrike Brit cap badge.

This is a group of political enamels.
It is great how 20-40 years of collecting and the internet' change your opinion on originality.
In this group I now spot 4 reproductions and 3 good ones.

Here is a bit for you Bob the Austrian NSDAP and Ludendorf badges came from the exchange and Mart in late 68/69...obviously they took a couple of years before they started flooding the market over the pond
All the best
