RAD,D.A.V.,NSDAP badges/opinion pls

[padalec]

Hello to all.... I bought these badges-pins (and moore..) and I'm interested in your opinion.
All afternoon on WAF It's not clear, for me, to RAD Abtlg. Is any good at all? My RAD pin color is ivory.
For Deutscher Alpenverain I ask,because I have not seen it yet..
For NSDAP just because it's always good to know more...Thanks

Hello,
If I remember correctly there is a thread on WAF or a few threads regarding the RAD Braunschweig badge you show & I believe it was said that that abtlg 4/305 Braunschweig group never existed. The other badges I have no idea about although that alpenverein badge looks like it has a coffin pin plate which supposedly was not used in ww2 era. Post war or what I have no idea. I am not a badge collector particularly so I look forward to others correcting me or adding more info
regards

Thanks Bill.Yes, for me, it's probably all Braunschweig Abtl. pin copy-fantasy.And D.Alpenverein also.Total Fantasy. I just ask - is that it ˝coffin pin plate˝ ?

If the RAD badge is Original, I cannot say, as I am not good with badges.

But the stating the unit 4/305 did never exist is not correct. It was located at one time at Markt Oberdorf
(but not at Braunschweig).
The unit even got a honor-name "Wendelin Hipler". There even existed a unit as 4a/305. Both are mentioned
in original and old sources.

Hello
Wilhelm, thank you for correcting me with your information. As I stated I am not really a collector of badges but had read some threads on WAF that seemed to indicate that while these badges do exist that the ones with the unit 4/305 Braunschweig designation were fake. I have attached the links to the threads I originally read regarding this badge for general information but thank you for correcting me regarding this badge.

Hi !
The Party badges seem to be original, but the 2 others are bad. The RAD Braunschweig badge exists and it ought to be silvered (not gold as most of the copies) but this one is also a fake. The letters have to be clearer and the enamel hasn't the real red colour.
