    Enameled Pins - These are bad, right?

    A friend emailed, and let me know that he had been offered some enameled badges. He sought my opinion and I now am seeking yours. After reviewing the pictures (shared with you here) I told him I was experiencing "grave concerns". This forum has been a great help and I believe that I will be sharing bad items that have been artificially aged. I'd like to be wrong, though, as these are available at a low price. BUT...well, have a look and share your thoughts...

        rev - If I'm mistaken, please let me know. But I don't like them. And the lot included a "Stalingrad Sleeve Shield" ...let me know if you'd like to see that one.

        Thank you in advance for your help!

            Mike,
            Are the NSKK pins fantasy or were they ever made and these pins are just bad. I know the pin backing is not right.

              H Tom,

              The pins are bad all right, but the NSKK female driver badge existed. They were made of pot metal / zinc alloy, and quickly turned gray.
