I got these recently and I am looking for opinions. I know that there are Polish knock offs out there but I haven't heard of anyone else faking these. Opinions would be quite appreciated. Thank you!

Copies. I believe originals did not use a pin plate. As with the Olympic badge these have been discussed on the forum, somewhere.

By the way, these copies are of US manufacture, not polack. From Machine-Gun Joe's, House of Swords.Comment

As Christian indicated, the late Joe Walters featured the whole set in his House Of Swords Catalog #25 back in the 80's.....

As an sidenote and interesting tidbit, I can show you this die, that were made to produce the YSTAD tinnie. When I bought it I was ecstatic that I had gotten a hold of an original die from Sporrong. Alas I was wrong. This were made to produce the copies and originate from the same state that Joe Walters came from.
Quite the extensive operation. Don't know how these were made, pantograph?
You can see how the die have deteriorated through the production and if the fake is an early or late production.
