Expert opinion about this Golden Party Badges reproductions

[corting]

Hi everybody.
I am new in this forum and also pretty new in this world.

I would like know the opinion about these reproductions,
are they faithfully to the original one?
Are they good reproductions?
For me are beautiful, but I would like know some expert opinions

Thank you in advance

Hi corting,

First of all welcome to this forum! Great to have you here. All the badges are crude fake. I shall post some pictures of the real stuff and there are better copies out there.

A set with matching numbers:

I guess if you are satisfied with a copy, the so called 'Austrian Fake' (small 24mm) Fuess would be nice to have.

The badges shown at the beginning of this thread are low quality repros.

I want to wish corting a hearty WELCOME to WAF! There is much being offered here to and from historians and collectors, and we hope you enjoy your membership.

As for the badges you have brought forward in your very first posting, you have already heard the response from some of our senior members that they are all fakes; with this I very much concur. But in addition to that brief response, you also have been given great value by the Moderator of this Forum, found in the comprehensive photos Wim has provided for you to use as points of comparison with those cheaply-produced modern fake badges.

Please know that we are all glad to have you here with us and we welcome your further participation in the future. And do stay safe!

He knows they are fakes for ****s sake he's just asking if they are good copies. He probably doesn't have they money like some to spend on originals.

Thank you for the answer

Firs of all thank you so much for all the answer, in special to Wim Vangossum for all the pictures.

As Kehlsteinhaus said, yes i know this are fake, and I wanted know if the quality was good or not, and after all the answer now I know are very poor

Is very difficult find this item in internet and more difficult know if is a real one or a good copy as the posted here, so for that reason I decided buy fake one, at least nobody will scam me

Thank you again for the warm welcome

Welcome to the forum! BrJames is right - this is the place to be to get the best advice.

I enjoyed this thread because of the differences you see in originals and fakes. Sometimes the differences are huge, as in this case. At other times, as in the Austrian Fake, the reproductions are much more clever.
What I enjoy most about these type of threads is seeing that the originals have a beauty all their own that can’t be touched, once the experts point it out, and once you learn to appreciate it for yourself.

T, thanks for posting the great pictures of originals.

Kehlsteinhaus, I used to be one of the poor blokes who couldn’t afford real GPBs. So it’s never too early to learn, I should know!

I guess I will answer his questions.

Are they good copies? No. There are better ones.
While it has pretty much all the correct attributes, all the details are very rough.

It will do as a filler.
