Olympic pins

[Richardxyz]

Duzig, I have two auto plakettes ( one quite badly damaged ) which are both Deumer, I believe them to be original. I have not seen ones by other makers to form an opinion. But with Paulmann & Crone manufacturing the small olympic pins it would not suprise me that they manufactured the auto plakette also. Can you post some pics?

Hello Richard,
Unfortunately I can't post pics on the forum.

Though I have looked for years for a period photo showing the badge at the far right of the next to the last row (with the rays eminating from the eagle), I have not been successful. I have always wondered about that particular badge as it pops up every now and then and is one of the few that has an engraved number on the back. Interestingly I have never seen two of these badges with the same number on the rear. They have all been different. I can't imagine what they would be other than some type of worker's or official's badge but, if so, you would think a photo of one in wear would exist.

If they are fake, someone went to a lot of trouble many years ago. They have been around since the late 1970's/early 1980's, have excellent enamel work and additionally each has a unique number on the rear.

I just saw one of the rayed ones at a flea marked with no engraved number, but with the maker mark

Speaking of swastika Olympic pins, just got this one. Authentic? If yes, how common is this type?

Thanks for the info! Fortunately , I haven't paid much more then that!. So, would you say this is a fantasy piece altogether?

I've never seen an original badge like this, so I'd tend to believe it's a made-up design. Attractive tho.

I would like to add this example to the discussion.
This pin came to me in a group of items and I paid next to nothing for it so I really dont care one way or the other but I do find it interesting that the other pins of this type that I have seen have different numbers.
This pin shows different detail in the swastika, font thickness and lacks the numbers (unissued ?).

Can't say I believe in this one either mate.
