Here are 5 SA Brunswick 1931 badges for review. The photo's look a bit strange as they were taken in artificial light and lost resolution with shrinking. Please take a look and let me know what you thinkof these. Hope this is the right forum for these.

Thanks Doug, I think if you held the 800 badge you would feel better. I will try to get better pictures taht will make a difference in interpretation.Comment

I like a lot all of them but the number 3.
Anycase, I´d like watching n. 1 in my hand for an ultimate answer, and the n.5 is very rare. I suppose it´s made in real silver for having this "800" mark. Is it?. You have to be very distrustful with this kind of items, as Doug said, but I like a lot this one, and at least this isn´t a known fake.
I have in my collection one like your n.2 made by Assmann and it´s my favourite Brausnsweig badge.
Cheers.
