The pin on the left looks to be a "tinnie" and could have been a give away at an NSKOV event of some type. It being colored surprises me and although unusual it could still be legitimate. The one on the right is, in my humble opinion, a copy of the NSKOV Bronze Shooting award pin. The makers mark appears to be in a recessed square and that is a sure sign of a reproduction. If you could show a better shot of the makers mark it would be easier to tell. The knurling too, is more typical of that turned out from a modern screw machine and not of the 1933-1945 period.
