Anglo/German & Jap/German Pins

[Rick C]

Not a clue. Anyone help with ID and an opinion as to if they're authentic?

the reverse - no maker marks...

Both bad I'm afraid.

The Japanese pin is considered a fantasy piece, & in this particular case the pin keeper shows that it's of post '45 manufacture. These are sold in the UK for about £5 by copy specialists.

The British badge looks to be a fake based on an original. The quality of the obverse worries me & the reverse of an original should be marked to "Thomas Fattorini Ltd".

Sorry

I agree with Don on this, also when you look at the finish on the reverse of both badges it looks like they could be made by the same as Don calls them copy specialist.

Thanx guys. Appreciate the feedback & your knowledge. Rick C.
