Interesting badges

[jacquesf]

I just come across these four very nice badges at a local antique shop, but as I have never collected these, I have no idea what they are. I would apreciate some info on each of them , like what they aere called, what they are for and what would be an fair offer as I would like to purchase them. That is if they are OK and I am clueless.

Hello,
I believe that the alpine rettung badge is considered a bogus piece or at least it is questionable. There is a good thread on them somewhere on the forum. I think there is also some question about the hochland lager badge shown although I might be mistaken about that. I don't collect badges in particular so cannot help with the others shown

I would add, I think the top two are modern and the bottom two fantasy/fakes IMO.

Agreed ! Hochland Badge , the HJ Research forum has an excellent thread on these fakes and who's selling them . Some collectors have paid around €200-300 on those . Ouch ! Alpine Rettung is a known fake as well. Shooting badge , would need better pics but it is not looking good. Last badge , not familiar with so better photos are needed as well . Good luck !

Hi Jacques,

the first two badges are OK.

The first badge is the small "Leistungsabzeichen" in Bronze (DSB Deutscher Schützenbund), here for "Luftgewehr". There are 6 different grades, small and large, in Bronze, Silber and Gold; this is the lowest grade.

The second badge is from the Landesfeuerwehrverband Baden-Württemberg, Feuerwehr-Leistungsabzeichen level 1. there are 3 grades; this is the lowest grade.

Thanx guys, very informative. So if I understand correctly, the top to are OK, but post war items and the sbottom two are fakes? They would not be of interest to me. J
