Imperial fantasy badges!

[Ammersee]

I collect Native American stone tools...arrowheads, spearpoints, and etc. During the Great Depression a family in Kentucky named "Guffy" cranked out a huge amount of fake artifacts...mostly rare ceremonial types. Material was all wrong, shape wrong, drilling wrong, etc. They fooled a lot of city folks back then, but now, they've become high-dollar collectors items in their own right. What was once just a fake is now called "an original Guffy". Unfortunately for most of us, it will probably take 50 yrs for the fake Austrian badges to be worth anything. Ammersee

Actually the piece in posts #34 and #35 looks very “White Russian”.

Possible! I'm not very familar with White Russian things. But it looked so unusual to me, that I set it in the fantasy category

Thanks for the advice!

#34 & 35 could be badges of the French post WWI political veterans league called "Crosses of fire"
