Anti Partisan Badge stickpins...opinions?

OK Guys,
I decided to send the pins back, and here are the reasons..
1) the skull had very little definition (as opposed to the over all sharpness of detail on the rest of the badge).
2) the snake (at the 3 o'clock position had no detail what-so-ever).
3) they both seemed too new looking (ie they just came out of the package). All my other mini badges show some age/wear.
4) The metal seemed to be of the wrong type ( I would have expected zinc-and they did not appear to be plated).
Yes the knurling seemed correct, but that was the only positive I could find.
Now, I could be totally wrong for sending them back ( and lost out on a good deal ) but the negatives outweighed the positives.
If anyone has a photo of an actual one, I would really like to see it (for future reference).
I do appreciate the help and opinions
Sincerely Andy B.Collecting minis and KVKs

Thanks Greg and Chris,
Greg...I have seen yours on your website...very nice . I noticed on yours tho, that there is no skull (as well as the forbidden symbol ). I found that interesting.
Warlord, If you pm me I will be happy to post the pics for you. I am very interested in seeing it.

Originally posted by WARLORDYou are quite right, the group was obtained in Innsbruck. Unfortunatly I missed the full sized pieces and the documents. The family through them away.
Interesting piece. Can you recognize a swastica on the Close Combat Clasp?
I agree with Peter, this is probably not german manufacture.
regards,
Gerd
