Party Badges Help

Hi. I'm wondering if these look good or not. Thanks for the help!

The two on the right are definitely not.

Painted zinc badge looks like a "MacDonalds" fake.
The other two are also bad with the "coffin" pin plate

Thanks!

Both badges on the right are certainly very common fakes, I'm not dismissing the painted badges though. Not seeing the so-called "McDonalds" M in the obverse markings there either.

Interesting to see this type of pin plate attachment applied without the two obverse studs, as seen in the painted M1/45 below

i dont see it either , this is original badge imo , seen them before, my take is earlier period planchets that had not been yet used/enameled were used later on rather than wasted , and used with the same plate (as being used at that time) as the zinc painted badges, imo its good piece

other two are cheap copies as we know

Good theory --- I agree, that makes sense
