A person contacted me out of the blue, and said they had some sports related pins and ribbons for sale. I have now got them in my hand, the only problem I have is with the 3 on the right side bottom row, has any one seen these reproduced. They are just so clean. And the diamond shaped pin 2nd from the left bottom row reads N. S.A. P. where is the D or is it a SA pin, but look farther down and check out the backsides of these, they look brand new.
You just never know. And I would appreciate more opinions.
Thanks,
Jack
Hello, Are you talking about only the 3 lower right hand side pins only with the NSAP. Or are you talking about all of them. I have not paid for them yet, but when you see 3 that are that clean it make syou wonder. So I am inclined to agree with you. I had no idea what the NSAP stood for.
Thanks,
Jack
I believe the two on the right are real, but question the one on the left.
Chris, I know you are the go to guy on these, I have never had any pins like this. I am a little scared of all three of them. But I want to make sure that you are just talking about the NSAP pins. What is your opinion of all the other pieces. I have a SA alpine pin just like the one she sent me and can not locate it. I had another one and sold it. Do you like the other pieces including the enamel with the sports eagle on it. The back of it also looks brand new.
Thanks,
Jack
Hello All, Well I learned something today, I actually did not know that there were NSAP pins and for sure did not know they were Swedish. Looks like another minefield. But it was actually the finish on them that made them suspect to me. SO my initial reaction was correct, and I thank all that helped me. It is amazing that after all these years I have not ran into the Swedish NSAP pins, maybe the real ones are very rare ???
But I think the rest are all good, I really like the sports enamel pin and might keep it for my collection. I also like the Police ribbon.
Thanks for all the help, and it is good to learn something every day. Now I have to pass the bad news on to the seller, she does not have a clue what any of them are.
Jack
I think all the NSAP pins in post #1 and post #8 are fakes.
best regards,

Gaston,
