2 DVG Westmark for opinions

[PierreMessmer]

Hello,
I need your help and new eyes on these two badges to know if it's fake or good for each one (even if they seem similar).
Best regards, and have a good day.

Personnellement, je préfère celui avec la petite plaque d'épingle ronde. Les plus rassurants sont celles marquées avec RZM 9/...

Hello Reinhard2,

Thanks for your feeling.

A French correspondant feels the letters (W.REDO SAARLAUTERN) on reverse less precise, on the number 1.
Imo, it's because of the wear of the matrix (google traduces "die", matrix seems to me better).

Imo, the color variant of red due to firing of enamel.

Imo, again, the lack of the point after LOTH on the number 1 is due to a weaker polishing of the enamel.

I will post tomorrow a third, with an oval tablet on reverse, a point after LOTH, and letter (W.REDO SAARLAUTERN) on reverse slightly degraded (wear of the matrix ?).

Other opinions are very very welcomed.

Best regards.

I like all three badges, they are all original. Vince

Agree. I see nothing wrong with these 3 badges

Schoenwurf, Zirnhelt,

Lot of thanks.

Other opinions are very welcomed, because three members of a French forum are convinced that the first (round tablet) is a fake because of the letters wear (wear of the counter-matrix, as I wrote, imo).

Best.

Well, I must admit that I also feel the most comfortable with the second and the third. It looks like the first has no pebbling at all in the red field and the letterring is very thin?

Several variations of this badge were made and I 'm pretty sure one had an opaque red swastica so that doesnt bother me. I think the thin lettering is just a variation.
Morigi made a fake of this in the early seventies but it was marked only W.REDO.

Yes, I agree that the fakes are marked only with W. Redo. Maybe it's just the picture that doesn't give me a good feeling.
