Here are two very nice NSDAP Party badges I got for my collection. They are in very good condition. What do you think? Any red flags?

Any red flags?

Yes they are. I think that painted one is 15 Euro aluminium repro. The early one is OK.

Yes that's possible. Are the crimped tabs integral part of the reverse planchet or seperate pieces?

Really-really! I owned one of those couple of year ago. They were offered in small groups of mint badges by different dealers. Later came an info that it is modern repro from Germany.

Zimmerman has several types of dies for his zink badges and several types of pins for them. But the main red flag here is the badge matherial. It is made from aluminium. Also the paint it is not any way looks like period one.

How can you see that the material is aluminium?

if original, It should be zinc, right?
