Infantry Assault Badges Real or Repro?

[chcole1]

Hi,
I am a US SSI collector so my knowledge of German WWII insignia is limited. I bought these off a friend who found them in a house he was renovating. Can someone give me an idea if these are real or repros? I had a collector friend suggested checking if the pin was easily bent and it isn't. If you could also give me a rough idea of value that would be great too.
All my best,
Chris

Hi Chris

I believe they are both originals, first is an unknown maker and the second is considered to be a B&NL design...

Your best bet for values is to check out some dealer sites and look on our estand. These places should give you a rough idea. That way you get to do some homework and see what is out there.

best regards
Graeme

I also have a post in Political Awards with items I am trying to identify. I you have a minute to take a look I would greatly appreciate it.
Cheers,

Hi Chris, I had a quick look and they look real enough to me. But the guys in that area will be able to be more accurate with their analysis. Not been a collecting area for me I am afraid.

all the best
