      Fake - SS Sharpshooter

      Hello, sorry to say that in my opion it is a reproduction. The SS Schutze Tinnies have been on the market since the late seventies and although originals of this Badge exist, your example from my perspective is not one of them. Most of the copies were produced in Holland, although Poland is now the main Country churning out reproduction Tinnies. Original issues were for SS sharpshooting. Although technically worthless as a reproduction it would certainly fool many a collector. On the original the Die stamping is much crisper and the reverse is virtually a reverse mirror image of the Obverse, much sharper (fakes usually have a softer look) the pin assembly looks to me a later addition in an effort to deceive. Hope this information helps.
      Regards Martin

            Hi Barney, please see this thread and then go to the link contained therein:

            http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=216561

            Personally I think they are all fantasy items.

            Cheers, Ade.
