2 SWB for review..

[Van]

Hello,
A friend of mine thinks that these 2 wound badges are fake, I am thinking they are good. One is marked 107 and the other is 127.. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Both are ok.

Ok, thanks, now here is why he thinks they are fake...
He "read" somewhere that if you take an original 3rd Reich badge and run it across a piece of white paper it should not leave a mark?? Both of these SWB's leave a mark on white paper so he will not buy these. Like Stukapilot says I think these 2 badges are just fine. Has anyone else heard about this?? Thanks..

Both are good and the 107 one is in nice condition.

2 SWB for review..

Both nice SWBs....the 127 pin "may have been replaced"...but I don't think so. As far as the mark on the paper test...I've heard of it...looking for lead base mat'l...like a pencil.

Don't worry...these are both good SWBs....and as stated 107 is the best one of the two.

Thanks for the replies and information...
