"Frontkjemper" Waffen SS

[oleg69]

Tell me, please, is the original brand or not? If the original, what is the price?

[Jelle M.]

It has all the treats of an original and desirable example in silver.
The rather sloppy constructed hinge is a typical trademark of these silver frontkjemper badges. The detail on this example is not so outspoken, might be due to wear. The catch and pin are textbook for this version, marked with W for Webeto.
The earlier 830 S versions have a sunk in catch.
If you look at the side of the shield you see trimming marks, that's something i have seen on confirmed originals as well. I would love to see better high quality pictures of this example but it has a good chance of being an original, even it's not the sharpest strike.

Thank you very much! What is the price of the sign now?

[Jelle M.]

Between 1500-2000€. Dealers used to charge more.
