Milo,
The first thing that rings an alarm for me is the attaching device this is the first time I have seen something like this used on these badges also the GES GESCH is incised into the badge where it should stand proud of the badge.

I'm not crazy about the NS Frauenschaft lettering on the front - very poorly executed IMO. All 3 of my Frauenshaft member pins (largest 40mm x 45mm) have very crisp lettering. As far as the back goes - I've not seen anything like it either; and as stated, the stamped Ges. Gesch. isn't what I'd want on mine.

The back

Yes, i think that the back is not what it should be...

does It means that it's definitively a copy???

Thanks a lot

About the three letters around the swastica; does someone know what their meaning? They look like kind of Gotic letters.

Letters are G, H and L. Cone admits that he does not know what they mean.

The letters stand for "Glaube, Hoffe, Liebe" translated as "Faith, Hope & Love", which was the motto of the NSF.

Don beat me to it, but I will add it was taken from Paul's letter to the Corinthians,

Thank you all for the info about the "Gotic" letters.
I was looking for their meaning for years!!
