Opinions, please: RKK / Reichskulturkammer stickpin

[johnkeller2004]

Hello all!

I would highly appreciate opinions on this piece. It's an RKK / Reichskulturkammer membership stickpin. I'm interested in thoughts on its authenticity.

I've compared it to several examples offered by Herr Winkler and Herr Niemann, and the front compares very favorably, but the back, namely, the pin itself, is different than the "usual." Could it be an authentic piece with a repaired/replaced pin, or just an odd variant?

Thanks!

Would it be possible to get a more focused shot of the reverse?

Unfortunately, it's the best I can do with either the scanner or my wife's camera. Sorry.

Hi Hal!

Could you please elaborate? What specifically leads you to believe it's a fake?

Known Quality for Comparison

Here's an RKK piece from Kai Winkler's site...he has four for sale right now.

Please compare to the one I present.
