You should always show pictures of the front and back of a badge if you want an opinion on originality....however, seeing the shape of the pin.....I'm afraid this is a Postwar strike (a reproduction!).
I'll continue to respond ....but only because I hate to see anyone "suckered" by a bunch of crap like you've posted so far.....whoever you're getting this stuff from is playing you for a fool.....
Invest in some referance books, read the threads on the various badges here...keep an open mind! Most of us are willing to share the knowledge we've acquired....but you have to be willing to listen!

O.K thanks John, i do listen and i am learning they are all part of a lot bought a about 3 years ago. and in got my money back on it, by selling the stuff that was good, mostly Russian stuff. but the next time i visit East Europe i will have better knowledge, and i do have the books, one is in that photoLast edited by Furher; 10-06-2011, 11:26 AM.Comment

Hi
Sorry but i dont think this one has a chance and as John says always try to get good picture of the front and the back and then its easier to give you a opinion

Got these few Russian bits and many more, now you can't say these are no good, so this seller did not sell me all bad stuff.
I know these are in the wrong place and i don't want to get in trouble with a Moderator, but just giving you an example that i have some genuine bits everyone gets good with bad, i won't continue posting Russian bits on here. but i appreciate all advice so far, with the German stuff, and i take all on board even if it seems the opposite, so no need to comment on these i know what they are

Sorry the IAB is a fake. I bet it has "Juncker" or "Wolfsschanze" stamped into the needle.Best regards, Andreas

Furher,
Yes, they are "original" Soviet Medals....the "Order of the Badge of Honor" and the "Order of the Red Banner of Labor".....both civilian awards for war work, and both very common Soviet era awards.....you can buy them for very little money even here in the States! ($20./30. each retail)
These maybe later strikes....the numbers would tell but I don't have the proper referances on the numbering system.....
But at least they are "Real" for what they are....

Yeah i know they are cheap to an experienced collector, but you get someone who does not know about the badges who is into communism and then that price can move tenfold besides these are only an example i posted. i have too many, what about that NS stick pin? P.S so is that alarm clock real for what it isComment
-
Sorry......
......In my opinion It's FAKE! Why you are sure to ask? Look at the outlining along the arms of the swastika. Way too wide for it to be of 3rd Reich era manufacture.what about that NS stick pin?

Furher,
Are you saying you rip off the unknowing newbies out there?
Everything has a value range.....if you charge someone two or three times what it's worth then you're nothing but a rip off artist, not anyone I desire to assist further....please clarify your statement!
John G.
The NS Pin is a bad fake.....and as far as the "Alarm Clock" goes....I said from the begining the clock itself was real....but it has NOTHING TO DO WITH 3rd Reich memoribilia beside being German.....initially I thought the eagle had a swastika which would have been added to enhance it.....but since it is supposedly a real trademark for the manurfacturer....I have no problem with it. However, just because it's German doesn't make it a collectible to the vast majority of serious collectors. I still wouldn't give it shelf space!Comment

Furher,
Initially I thought you were a realitively new collector who didn't know much and had been badly mislead.....
However, you are, in my opinion, beyond hope. I, for one, will be of NO further assistance....and this time I mean it. I hope others who read this will respond likewise!

Thats fair enough John, but you were not totally honest with me, you initially said the alarm clock was a fantasy piece, and it was not, you still did not clarify your mistake, i am sure you band of merrymen will follow suit and provide me with no more assistance, besides i am easy i can take advice elsewhere.Comment

AMEN.i am easy i can take advice elsewhere.
