Hi.

I need your opinions on the value on these badges because they are going to the e-stand.

I have searched a lot of dealer sites, but have not found any that has these.

Thanks.

Best regards,
André

Hi André. Personally I'm not keen on the Olympic badge, H. Osang appears on the reverse of a lot of reproduction badges, as does that particular shaped attachment set up on the reverse. Also, most contemporary purchased Olympic '36 badges/pins appear to mostly omit the swastika. Would be keen to hear other opinions on this.

Thanks for the reply Richard.

I got this with a sports badge lot (17 pieces) and all the drl, dra and rja badges seems ok. Here are two more OL badges that I got with the lot. Please let me know what you think about these.

Here are some of the drl badges.
I'm sorry that some of the pictures of the back are blurry, but the light was bad. I will make new pictures tomorrow.

The Garmisch badge looks fine, C. Poellath appears to have produced the majority of the Winter badges. The other Olympic one also looks original. I am not the best judge on DRL badges so perhaps someone else could comment on these, but first impressions are that they are okay.

The first badge pictured is one that has generated some controversy. No one can say for sure they are fake but no one has seen any contemporary photos with them in wear or of any stories as to their purpose. I have one that I purchased in the 70's so they have been around for at least that long. They are quality made and even though Osang is used on many reproduction badges, my own feeling is they are good. I still would like to know their function as each of the ones I have seen are numbered. If these are fake, someone went to lots of trouble as I have never seen two of these badges (and I've seen dozens) that have the same number engraved on the rear. Mine has a 575. It would be interesting for others that have one of these badges to state the number engraved on theirs.

Obviously if these are genuine, there had to be a reason to number these.
