Gott Mit Uns + Generalgouvernement Krakau

[Domenix]

Hi

I got these recently - but have not found any info on the net.

Do you think they are fakes or just fantasy?

Cheers Johannes

NSDAP Generalgouvernement Krakau 28 x 39 mm

Hello, sorry, Johannes, sadly from my perspective they are both fakes. It would be an understatement of the century to state that most third reich era tinnies are of very highly quality, as in virtually all cases they usually are (when original). sadly these are lacking in quality and the die cast example is quite simply just not crisp enough in the detail. As for the die stamp one it should literally be a mirror image on the reverse of the Badge of the obverse. These are typical examples of the ones produced in Poland, I will post a link to the website that sells these copies.
Regards Martin

the sharp/flat backing shows its from a cast.

the messy soildering can be found on originals..when there repaired,
but you should check for original markings from the first soildering point (which most of the time you can see)

Hi Johannes, sorry both badges are bad.

Cheers, Ade.
