Party Badges, opinions please

[LES Y]

Hi guys,

Opinions please on these two party badges, The Erwacht badge is the smaller 16mm version, and doesn't show any of the discolouration in real life.

Just realised that this is in the wrong forum, I'll link it to the correct forum.

I like the second badge for sure

I'm with Dan, the second one looks OK but keep away from the first one.

Agreed - #1 is a common and bad fake (you don't find M1/129 on any real badges), but #2 looks nice, especially in the smaller size.

Hi: Yeah, #2 is one of a few real one's I have ever seen.
#1 is a bad copy of a very controversial pin. The bad is the unpolished cloissone, very rough. Look at the rounded inside corners of the black swaz.
The controversy is written about all over this forum. Both your pins are pre RZM. And as far as a commemorative, later strike... Not Ludendorff, as he was totally out of favor with the nazi's by then. John
