    NSDAP badge - real or fake??

    I was sent photos of an NSDAP badge, guaranteed authentic by a dealer, but I am beginning to suspect it is a repro. Despite the corrosion which has given the item an aged look, it just doesn't look right. I would be interested to hear the views of members on this forum. I will include links to the photos.

      Mike is right - bad, bad, bad. The M1/129 is almost always a fake RZM mark.

        Thanks

        Thanks for confirming my fears. No need to send it back, because I never purchased it in the first place. I was only sent the photos. It is amazing how "authentic" some of these fakes are made to look. This one looks as though the dealer has left it outside in the weather for a year or two to get that corroded, aged look!

          Yes both Mike and Stephen are correct also pay attention to that style of attachment plate this is type is being used on a lot of fakes coming out lately from Poland. Take a look through the NSDAP database thread and you will see what to look for in authentic membership badges.
