Hello all, Have a few propaganda badges that have been offered to me for sale. They look right but they also all three look identical to one another aside from the different obverse designs. This concerns me without being able to look at them closely. Any thoughts or opinions would be helpful. Thanks

Or this is 100% luck and you found 3 pristine early primitive propagande badges or this is like tranchant says: a clever new fake. IMO tranchant is right... Imagine these awards were aged... dangerous!!
Looking forward to hear some comments of other enamel addicts!Freedom is not for FreeComment

Have to say, occasionally you do see these types of rectangular holding plates, as has been said, its usual to find all three together. Notice on the first two badges shown, the reverses have a row of three small dimples, this I see for the first time anywhere. Anyone know what they are for ?Comment

I saw those spots before on genuine badges, that makes it even more weird.

Three dots are an alignment mark that were used on known originals. The main thing that bothers me about these are that they are so alike. That said, they are being offered by a reputable dealer who gives 100% no questions asked return policy. I think I am going to take the chance on them and get them under the microscope to check for micro patina. That will tell the real story. thanks for all the opinions just the same. He said that all three came from the sale place and that it was not a collector. I think this could be a score. If not, I am protected by return policy.Comment

Eric - Looked through my pictures files on these badges, there are a few variants - design - holding pin - from what I've, the Heil Hitler badge checks out, front design, holding attachment, reverse even has the dimples. The other two you'll have to check out, no time - I would go for all three without a guarantee.Comment
