Friendship lapel pin

I had pretty much discounted these as not being real until I ran across one from vet.
Are these or any of the variety of pins real?

The one you show is a well known reproduction . Never a " Ring fur Deutsch Britisch Freundschaft " but there is a " Ring fur Deutsch Englische Freundschaft " badge. Jo Rivett did a very good comparison article on the fake vs the real. Detail difference between the two , when compared , is brutally obvious .

Thank you.
I thought that, just for a change, I was right in doubting this particular one!!

Haha ! Yeah , when you see Englische vs the Britisch(e) badges side by side there is no comparison as to quality and period work.

Beside which this type of pin plate is a dead giveaway.
