[Ingsoc]

I purchesed those badges not long ago and I need your help to make sure they not fakes.

[John Bart]

Both look fine to me Both designed by Prof. Richard Klein

[Adrian Stevenson]

I would agree with John

The Mai 1st 1936 tinnie was my very first badge

Cheers, Ade.

[James Noble]

I also agree with both John and Adrian, nice badges.

[Gregorio Torres]

Nice but very common tinnies. 15 euros each in Europe. This price is an assurance against the copy makers.
Regards from Spain.

they look identical to mine, I love them, cheap and easy to find! Does anyone even bother to fake them I wonder?

Faked tinnies

Hi Guys, this is more a question that some of our hard core tinnies collectors can answer better than me, but I seem to recall seeing faked Tag der Arbeit 1934 tinnies in the past? I cannot now recall where I saw them. But it sticks in my mind because I too thought that I would never see the day such a common badge would be copied.

Here is a link to some faked tinnies:

Cheers, Ade.

And the question I never seems to get an answer for:

Who does the face on the 1934 badge belong to??

Karl

[Gregorio Torres]

A very interesting link, Adrian. Today everything is polluted by the fakers. It´s absurd: the original is cheaper than the copy.
Karl, when you find the anwer to your question, please, tell me. I love his hair style.
