        Hi tbgbc,

        A lot to look at there but the photos are all tiny and hard to assess. However, to start off, the 1st pattern S-Boat, the "f.o." U-Boat and "tombak" U-Boat badges seem to all be reproductions.

        The Minesweeper looks like a seriously man-handled original Mayer with the pin ripped out and replaced.

        It would help to have better photos.

        Best regards,
        ---Norm

          All appear to be repros (sneakily de-naz in several cases) except for possibly the Minesweeper (hardware is wrong and it may be a cast repro anyway) and the LW Flak badge. The LW Ground Assault is close but looks like one of the Arno Walpach repros based on the incorrect hinge.

          To be honest - try and get your money back real quick on the whole lot and study up before purchasing again.

          Regards
          Mike

          Evaluate the item, not the story and not the seller's reputation!

          If you PM/contact me without the courtesy of using your first name, please don't be offended if I politely ignore you!

            Collection

            Hello,
            I agree with Norm and Mike, it appears you bought many fakes that were de-nazified.

            Not worth too much. As Mike said, you should study up on this stuff first.

            Regards,
            Jody

              Hi tbgbc,
              Agree with what was said - most likely all your badges are fakes
              If you want to make sure about 'Lizard head' LW Flak, A.W.S. LW GAB and B.H. Mayer Minesweeper - I enclose these badges from my collection for you to compare. You do not have to check other badges, even on these small pictures they look very bad, sorry.
              First goes my LW Flak.
              Cheers,
              Hubert

                      thanks for all your replies, to be honest they cost me less than £30 each and ive got two nice certificates with it and some photos , so i dont think i was ripped off too much, unless others think otherwise.

                        Hi guys,

                        I can only agree with the others, nothing looks original with the exception of possibly the LW flak, but even that 1 I think might be bogus. Has a weird look to the obverse finish IMO.

                        Nice badges Hubert

                        If it doesn't have a hinge and catch, I'm not interested......well, maybe a little

                          I do believe 30 was too much each of them. Since they are repops. With the price of badges now low you could get 2-3 very nice originals for what yous spent. This is just my opinion. But if you are happy with your purchase keep them.

                            I agree with Stomper that the repros are not really worth anything, so 30 pounds each is still a waste of money.

                            However, I still say the Minesweeper is probably original, just not in collectible condition.

                            Cheers.
