my concern - is it "coffin-shaped" pinplate?

[James Noble]

Andrei,
Your badge and the attch. plate looks just fine to me. Here is an example of coffin shaped plate that you are concerned about.

Thanks James,
now I see the point. If the coffin shape pinplate attached to the round base - very good sign for repro, am I right?

Yes and no...

The shape of the pinplate is the most important thing. The Frauenschaft pinplate isn't "coffin shaped" unless you have an odd body shape.

"Coffin shaped" means it has a pronounced bulge or angle along the edge (for your shoulders, if it's a coffin), like a flattened hexagon, or is sometimes a flattened oval with clipped ends. Flat sides with rounded ends like the real Frauenshaft are not uncommon in real badges.

The fake pinplate tends to be quite small in relation to the badge, not big like on genuine Gold Party Badges:



Hope it helps and doesn't further confuse.

Thanks Stephen,
I am relatively new in this field, collect TR militaria about a year. So, every day is learning process for me and I like it. Now I understand about coffin shape pin plate, for instance bad HJ marksmanship badge which I posted yesterday.
Thanks again,

Your Frauenwerk badge is a good one Andrei
