German orders - fake or real?

I hope too

I collect badges and orders since 3 month, so I don't have a big collection.

Probably EK Spange, Flandernkreuz and Olympische Medaille are fake, but I'm not sure.

Sorry to say, i do believe you are correct, on all accounts + one other

Here are a couple of pictures I downloaded.

I believe the Spange is known as the 'Raptor' fake.

Ok, no questions

I agree with what ADRIAN has said.I have all the KREIGSMARINE badges you posted and the obvious diffrences are there.My suggestion is if you would like collect these great badges that you pickup one of the newest Naval badge books that have come out.They show you the excellent detail of the originals and you will avoid losing your hard earned cash on the fakes.Carl PS.look at the poor detail of the eagles and the reverses of your e-boat badges and you will see what the members are saying.

That's right!

@goodbuys
I've compared my bagdes with original bagdes and I see differences. In the future I'll be more careful. So...I learn on my mistakes

Thank You for opinion and hint about books. It's possible, that money come back to me.

Post any further purchases here before you spend any money. It's much easier to keep your money in your pocket than spending it and trying to get it back!
