    Gau Thuringen Remaked

    Simple badge design and unfortunately equally simple design to re-make. This is for those of us that thought we were on a safe ground with those pins. Most pics below come from this site and since I scrolled any available threads to pull them I can tell you that those fakes did (and still do) fool most collectors in this field. For the rest that chose to believe its no biggie- enjoy your bliss.
    Let's start with a confirmed fake. A cast bearing the number 358. Look at the circled areas- few cast bubbles but also a small blob near the center of a swastica as well as repetitive (repetitive as in all of those fake badges) blobs on the verso, between the swastika arms.

    next one

    Next one up- a fake bronze 222 marked badge. As we'll see 222 seem to be quite a popular number on those pins. This one features a 'tear' to the side of the eagle's neck- also a trait that is present on most (but not all) of the more questionable Gau Thuringen badges. The usual and already mentioned (and circled) features are also present.

        Next one up- IMO another badge that features some of the more unsettling features. This one engraved 991. Adren (who I believe owns this example posted much better pics elsewhere on this forum revealing those features in bigger scale)

          another 222

          This one- another 222 as posted by Gary. Not sharp enough to make out the details but look at the circled areas.

            222 numeral detail

            My futile attempt at the numerals close up.

              another 222

              Yet another 222. This time in bronze grade. Again- too small to make out any details.

                    Interesting forensic examination.

                        The variance in pin is obvious on some of them. Are all the fake silver badges marked 800?

                          Good work Matthew.

                          The Bronze version marked "222" in Post#7 appears to be original though. Maybe this was the one the faker copied?

                            I agree with Stan, the bronze 222 is genuine.

                              Here is the thread on my badge awhile back, I got the badge from Gary Symonds. I did like it alot then and if it is bad, then it is an excellent fake.

                              http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=505623

                              I did not know that if there is a "blob" then it is a fake? Is it common knowledge to these badges?

                              I've seen some cast pieces but the finish looks a lot like patinaned silver to me when looking at it in hand. I will try to make better pictures later.

                              Best Regards,

                              Adren
