One good one bad

The first one marked is a piece of junk. The second one is a very fine example of an unmarked Schwerin even has the less encountered waffle head hingepin
I would be happy to have that badge in my collection the other

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your opinions. I have not handled many of these, but have never seen the type of hinge pin in the unmarked one. I thought the badge looked “newish” and that that type of hinge pin had to be repro!
Just shows my ignorance.
Thanks,
Peter

As said, the first one is bad and the second is a good one

I agree with Steve and Andy. Unmarked one is nice original, matked one is a fake.
Cheers,
Hubert

Thanks Andy and Hubert,
I could not make the auction so left a bid, but didn’t get it. It went for more than I thought, around £380 including premium.
Thanks,
Peter
