I thought they were fakes but apparently I'm maybe lucky...

Aurich PAB. I already sold it but the buyer send it back arguing it was an english fake from the 70's. You can easily bend it with fingers.

The fact that the Aurich PAB bends with light pressure is not a good sign. I am still unsure about the metals used on these badges so it may be good?. The second one you posted i wouldnt give up on I like it. I have an Iab with the exact same pin set up on it

Indeed, any badge that bends "easily" with pressure is to be avoided. I know the pictures aren't that good but the details appear to be a bit soft on this example (the Aurich). I think the other badge is good, albeit an extremely worn example.

If clearer pics (scans) and height and weight measurements could be obtained we could be 100% but if you can bend it easily its like everyone else said more than likely a fake, the 2nd one IMO is okay

Thanks for your help.

Scans are worst than photos (yes, it's possible... )

Aurich :
weight : 22 gr
size : 59 x 41 mm

unmarked :
weight : 36 gr
size : 60 x 42 mm

Too bad about the HA but the other is a flatback.
