Thanks!!! I had a good feeling for that...
What are realistic prices at the moment for such "needles"...!?

[Wim Vangossum]

It's perfect! About the price? What the addicted idiot want to pay, I guess? They are pretty rare!

No serious: maybe it's in the same level as a Otto Gahr SS-Zivil?

The Gahr pins are on a level all their own!

Gahr can only be beaten by Gahr.

F-16,

As said, your pin is 100% authentic. Note that it has been returned to the Main FM office and reissued as denoted by the gouged out area where the original number has been removed and then hand engraved with a new number.

Current value today is in the area of $2,000. without the case.

Best,

John

Prices going crazy! I mean, 2000 Dollar for an FM honour. That's what you have to pay to a dealer if he find such little treasure for you. But they bought it most of the time for a completly different figure. They pass hands from "uneducated" miliataria sellers for the price of a cased EKI, come in the hands of the major dealers and experts and suddenly turn into pure gold. I guess it's the same like with SS skulls...

Can't help it but I find it a bit sad. I know that if you are patient, it is sometimes possible to get something for a "normal" price. Let's say 600 or 700 Dollar for such an award and others pay 2000 Dollar for the same. This luck once happend to me for my SS zivil abzeichen. Can't imagine that I paid such an amounth for my Gahr. Then it would be more wise to collect rare and expensive pieces that are generaly known and have more fixed prices, so you don't pay triple the price for the same thing as your fellow-collector payed the day before.

I know Gahr made the SS membership pin, with their version being scarce but did they also produce the SS-FM Honorary Pins, and even the regular SS-FM pins?

No they diden't. Its only because we are talking about rare and expensive SS-enamel here. In this case it would be more the question of an FM Honour award has the same holy status as the Otto Gahr SS-zivil.

Puh prices in Germany are high too, I had the chance to buy 2 or 3 of exact this pattern pin for 400 to 600 euros, and I passed because the price was to high on my oppinion.
But 2000$.... this is really crazy.

Cheers Bernhard

If one collector pays the price the market is set.
