NSDAP Deutschland Erwache

[schönbeck]

Just wonder your opinion on this pin. And what is it worth?Saw one just like it go on manions for $80. And similar one site for $45 so I'm confused?

[Mike Pinkus]

i dont think it is worth anything more than a glorified paper weight( a light one at that!)...it is a known fake....
i believe that there are originals out there of this type, just that this one isnt one of them

What make you say that how did you figure it out. Waht i mena what fake aobut it you have original picks? I was quite sure it was real because it was quite aged and had to clean it to make the rzm code visible

[Mike Pinkus]

what you cleaned off was a chemical that is applied to give the look of ageing...
go to froblers web site to learn what there is to know about this pin

2). Missing cross on “Z” - regardless of what Robin Lumsden says in his book “Detecting the Fakes”, this does not necessarily mean a badge is fake.

the page is most abut nsdap pins did not see any Deutschland Erwache pins. Can you tell me what makes it exactly fake? Taht site does not help much
Thx again for help
I need info to spot one in the future if fake or not thx
