this time from a different seller, i think
what are your opinions on these? thank you

[Hans Kondor]

Apart from the LGAB and the repaired Schwerin HSF all looks fake to me.

[Chet Sowersby]

One of the PAB's you show is the same fake you posted in another thread from another dealer. Come on now, focus..... The numbered GAB is pathetic along with a few of the others. However, credit is due as you are posting these for opinions first.

thanks Chet, that triangle AS PAB was my first hint at worse to come, but i posted them as a grouping. i'm being extra careful these days and i truly appreciate your and other fellow collectors' help. thank you gentlemen!

I think you would be better off posting badges one at a time. You will get better analysis. When guys see 10 badges posted at once and some are obvious fakes, they lose the will to live.

Seriously, post one at a time, some guys over here put in a lot of time analysing badges for the benefit of others.

cheers

Graeme is spot on about posting everything at once. Very few of us are comfortable commenting on three or more types of badges. This is explained by the fact that most of us only collect a few different types of badges. Even with some of the outstanding books available today there is way too much in the world of TR collecting to be knowledgable in more than a handfull of intrests.

Both Dk's are bad.

Obvious reproductions.

I'm not sure about the kriegsmarine badges, and the GAB looks like a repro Wallpach?

[Thomas Durante]

The Assmann Observer stands a chance at being original, but the glider is certainly fake along with pretty much everything else.

Not an expert, but I am willing to bet the JFS 75 is bogus. The rivets on the assmann look abit different, but everything else on it looks alright.

[Kwen Koh]

75 JFS pab clearly with shrink eagle, funny claw , wrong pin, wrong rivets etc.. Both triangle AS pab are fake(wrong catch base and base material). HA pab also a bad one.
Wow! Hope you got luky on other badges. Kwen.

[luftwaffenkopf]

thank you gentlemen, i just posted the Observer badge in the appropriate forum. i'm considering buying this one but need to know its fair price...

Some of the badges are repaired or corroded but heres my take based on the pics and I think it is fairly accurate. You haven't hit a complete pile of crap some of the badges are original

Fritz Todt- very nice original
Luft ground assault- I think probably good
Observer- original
Glider- fake
BKA- fake
HSF- real
Uboat- real
EK1 possibly good
Spanish crosses- fake
DKs- fake
Olympic- real
Medal bar- real
Police 8- real
Party badge- fake
Honour roll clasp- fake
IAB- possibly good but corroded
HA PAB- looks good
AS pabs- fake
75 gab- fake

Hope that helps, if you get better pics and some discussion in the right places of those that are possibly ok you might end up with a nice selection of good medals.
