    Opinions of these Afrika Korp pins

    Hi Guys,
    My main area of collecting is mini badge stickpins. However, I ran across these in my box (while organizing things). I have had them for awhile, but have no clue as to where they came from. So, getting to the point...does anybody have any ideas on these (real or fantasy). I have my opinion but I'll see what others have to say.
    One point of note, the one on the left appears to have a bronze finish, while the other seems to have a silver finish.
    Thanks in advance for all comments, I do appreciate them (good and bad)

      Hi Andy, they are fantasy items and date from the late 1960's / early 1970's. I remember them for sale back then.


      Cheers, Ade.

        Hi Ade,
        That was just as I suspected. Thanks for the confirmation. At least it makes me feel good that I am getting better at spotting these things. I guess they will go back in the box where they came from.

          The pins look like good pins though. Did they take old pins and use them on such obvious fantasy items or am I just wrong,....again!

          Best, Sal

            Dear Sal,

            The pins themselves look ok but the problems already start with the way they are affixed to the badges. As Ade says these are known fantasy badges.
            Cheers, Frank
