I agree except for the first one which definitely has had the pin replaced by someone . The germans had original with the type pin with the flat , and with a 90degree stright to the cross as the third one is, but that round based pin in the middle would not be seen from the front, so someone farbed that one. I have some with IC's and other medals on stick pins , but don't have any with 39 clasps I don't believe . I don't care for the 4th one with the 39 clasp...doesn't appear original to me, but thats just my own opinion . The details on most of these pins are usually very good for being so tiny, and the third one doesn't seem to have the details I would want to or expect to see. Others may disagree, but that pin may also have had the pin replaced . Let's see what others say,but 2, and 4 look sketchy alltogether even the tops and pins both, and lets see if anyone can corraborate or not. You gotta love those stickpins they are really way cool.Last edited by juoneen; 11-07-2012, 03:33 PM.

For various reasons, I've issues with all minis prersented here. #4 is butt ugly and I would personally never go for any piece with that square pin-solder. John has already handled #3 and I'm content with his personal experience. #1 is the more believable regarding the obverse (given it's glass-enamelled?) and the lack of 90 degree angle of the pin is explained by the use of a "horse-shoe"-pin, fully accepted on German minis. The direction of the knurls is IMO controvercial though.
cheers
