    Sizes of my two are the same as yours:

    Hollow ["Alpacca"]

    Wreath= 44,00mm. Swas = 45,80

    Solid

    Wreath = 44.10. Swas = 45,77

    Consistency in measurements can be an issue, Stan. From another thread:

    1925 Solid: 44,21mm

    Certainly not 4% different, more like 0.045%.

    Actually, the expert in Gau badges thinks the solid version is a fake !

    Hello Stan,

    As you know I measured your badges as well. ... when I measure those I measure the wreath (not the sometimes protruding edges of swastika) vertically and horizontally.
    As such the solid silver vs the hollow silver version as measured by me came to
    43.2 x 44 vs 44.7 x 44.9 (W/H)

    cheers

      Andreas,

      We all know how difficult it is to measure the wreath on a badge. Unless you get the caliper exactly in the middle, the measurements will differ so I may have got it slightly wrong.

      However, the point is that Joe's badge measured 44.00mm whereas mine measured either 44.00mm or 44.19mm, both of which are within reasonable tolerances IMO.

      I cannot comment on the measurements which Matt took of my badges.

      Stan

          Looks quite similar to the one discussed in this thread.
