Sorry to say this Gau badge is a fake, the wreath is totally wrong. It should also be marked in the centre of the reverse of teh Swastika.

Sorry

holy crap, this collecting nazi pins thing looks extremely difficult when you see how many fakes there are. what is really stupid is that it seems they started making fakes since the early sixties when you factor in the aging you see on these fakes. or is that just because it's cheap metal?

I'm a beginner so what guide book do you suggest that tells you what to look for to spot fakes?

I was going to collect just guns but the high prices won't allow me to any more. I would like to collect SS and particularly SS Ahnenebre pins.


thanks in advance,

newbie.
