re: 'Deutschland Erwache' badge: Is this real?
It is my understanding that 'Deutschland Erwache' pins are post-war. However, I could be mistaken. I am not a big fan of this one, but neither am I an expert. I have been unable to find any data that would establish this pin as authentic pre-1945. I wouldn't mind being wrong, though, as it is a nice looking pin.

The egg shaped pin holder is a fake.
It should be round.
Sorry

Re: 'Deutschland Erwache' badge: Is this real?
'Deutschland Erwache' badges are perfectly authentic and period. No question on that. They are unmarked.
Sorry yours is bad.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: 'Deutschland Erwache' badge: Is this real?
Paul, I would suggest that you post images (whenever possible) before you buy. If you are not certain of the originality of an item, then chances are, somebody on here will help you out with regards to the authenticity. Many fakes are "maker marked" (shame its not "FAKER marked"), so be careful. RZMs etc show up on everything you can imagine...and other items that are ineffable.
Regards,
Carl

Re: 'Deutschland Erwache' badge: Is this real?
Oh yes, Carl, if I'm buying on line and have questions I'd post here for help, but this was at a collectors show last week end. I had looked over some of the pics on the party badge thread, and took a chance. I hadn't planned on getting heavy into German militaria, but thought it might be nice to have a couple pieces. I'll stick with British kit and bayonets, I know more about those lol I took a chance and got burned, we live, we learn. I'll do more research for next time, the show comes around again in October Thanks everyone for your help
I just figured out who is in your smiley on your signature lol that's cool
