Thx again all. Don, thx verry mutch for the pics and info on these badges.I have been looking in to an yellow and quit expensive one for a vile now, but now i can see that i dont want it since it is defently one of those pale ones. If ok with you i save the pics. down in my Zimmermann fakes file.

there is a lot of M1/72 and M1/73 Daf pins - it's difficult to say they are good or fake..
This one cost 1000 euro and i guess it's to pale to be true

What worries me with these M1/34's is that there have been a very large number of mint ones on the market in the last year with big name dealers. These all have the same trait, odd crimping on the pin plate which is not so usual on period pieces.

The others look ok though.

Cheers

Yes it's true - that dealer has 5 or so - that's one of them.
I have a pic of M1/102 to compare (i'm going to buy this one too) I remember Scot C has a red one
M1/54 and the pin wasn't round/horizontal either..
The back looks more usual, but front i would say pretty same...?
But you have more experience with these ... Propably i'll send it back to dealer.

So others (yelow and red) looks ok? I'm kinda confused: too bright , too pale I saw many of blue and red frauenschaft with that "rusty"letters - kinda wierd to me..
I will post new thread tonight with M1/18 questions

[Don Scowen]

Going from the image you posted the M1/102 looks fine to me.

The yellow DAF M1/72 I feel is bad.

The Frau' M1/73's are somewhat controversial. Some feel that they are bad, some feel that they are good. Unfortunately there isn't much evidence either way so you have to make your own mind up with them. I have them in my collection & will keep them there until I find proof that they are bad, they are extremely well made.

Cheers
Don

cysior,
Here is an NSF Ortsgruppe Engerer Stab M1/102 that I have for comparison.

[cysior]

Thanks jnoble. Like i said before i'm going to send it back to the dealer (do i have to give them a reason?)
Here is another one with "unusual" back, but different marker and pin plate is wider?
