Civilian Fuess Golden Party Badge

[luftkrieg]

Hi GPB experts! Got this last year when i was big into TR items. Is it an original? And if so, how much is it worth on todays market? Is it Tracable?

Thanking you in advance,

[luftkrieg]

And the reverse.

It looks like it could be an original one to me. My understanding is that they are worth $1000-1200. Traceable? Unlikely, unless you find a lucky connection...

Actually, to be sure it is original, nice straight-on front and back photos would be necessary. There are some strange things about this one...

Tom was very right to edit his reply to you.

I am very sorry to say this one is a fake from the 1980's.

Please see here:

It displays all the die flaws of the fake badge.

Numbers are traceable with luck. Only today I heard of someone finding out several ID's of his badges.

Cheers, Ade.

Yeah, at first glace l liked it, but then the more I looked at the photos, the less I liked it. When I noticed the missing (or very weak) dash line between National Sozialistische, I thought I better quick edit my post...

Hi Ade, no idea what your on about...sorry.. like i said im no expert on these! Please explain, and thank you.

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Pierce, have a look at the link I sent you.

Compare the die flaws which are ringed on the fake badge.

I have copied your pic and placed it side by side with the one off Stephen's website, so see if this helps you?

Cheers, Ade.

[luftkrieg]

Cheers Ade. i did have my suspicions when i got it, won it for no big money of eBay so no real damage done to the bank balance. It is a real convincing fake i must say! Never would have thought of that with the dye etc!!

Thanks to you all for the help! Appreciate it.

Best regards
Pierce
