[Eric Broome]

Hello all, these two new badges came today. A nice Ferdinand Wagner RDK badge which I have wanted one of for a while now and the Heil Hitler liliput badge I have been waiting for. Very hard to find badge I am quite tickled to own.

Thanks for compliments, You're right, HH badge was very hard to find and not cheap for such a small item. Now I need to find a DE badge. They seem to be a little less rare but rare still.

HH is a real eye catcher. Don't know what to think about the other badge...

Not sure where your doubt stems from but I am open to hearing your opinion for sure. I did my research before buying it. Please share your doubts with me though as I have much to learn. Thanks

Good job.

Hi Eric,


Maybe I'm too sceptical when I see a tiny pin plate in large guidelines for the pin plate (it always gives me the creeps) but that can easy depend on which attachment was available at that moment. If you have done the research and it is textbook to the characteristics by this maker it must be ok.

I will post on Jo's site and get his opinion. I have had it under 30x microscope and there is definitely a lot of micro patina on the back edges and on the pin itself. You can see the striations where it's pierced jackets etc many many times. This is not an end all be all positive, but it's usually a very good indicator. Now I am paranoid and will study it to death. I thank you for giving your opinion, it is valued.

Jo's the man when you want to be 100% sure. A pity they kicked him out here...
